Dear All,
Many thanks for attending lesson #2.

[pdf attached]
Highlights
The paper builds a comprehensive review of the current research on the Third Mission of universities and offers an innovative framework of measures to support the enactment of the Third Mission.
The Third Mission represents the economic and social mission of the university and its contribution to communities and territories.
Policy makers and university managers should avoid isomorphism, or rather, the tendency to emulate “world class” universities.
University-Industry labs can bridge the gap between university and society at large.
Social sciences and humanities facilitate both understanding of the complexity of the economic, social and environmental issues involved, and generate collaborative strategies between university-industry labs.
A continuous process of entrepreneurial discovery and exploration of market opportunities can foster collaboration between university-industry-government.
For the official Voice of Europe’s Universities, there is a lot of info at EUA website – European University Association: https://eua.eu/
Have a nice week.
Best,
Ana
