Title: Innovation in Universities – What does it mean?
Innovation means many different things. During the past twenty years many universities have questioned their traditional roles of teaching and/or research and embraced a third activity known (narrowly) in the USA as “Technology Transfer”, or in the UK as “Knowledge Transfer” or “Knowledge Exchange and Commercialisation”, or in some other countries as “Innovation”. How has this developed? What are the barriers? What are the consequences for traditional universities?
Examples from different countries will be discussed, including the speaker’s personal experience. The
dramatic changes in his university (Cambridge) will be discussed, as well as lessons learnt from teaching innovation and entrepreneurship across the world.
