This study analyzes the age profile of scientific employees and its relation to personnel costs and scientific productivity within eight faculties at the University of Vienna. The age demography can overall be divided into two main categories: Category one faculties represent an increased number of younger aged researchers (Catholic-, Protestant Theology, Law, Economics, Information Sciences, and Medicine), category two faculties show an increased number of older aged researchers (Social Sciences, Humanities, and Science). In addition, it can be demonstrated that the personnel costs for full professors are higher within four faculties (Catholic-, Protestant Theology, Law, and Economics and Information Sciences). Inevitably, this leads to savings for habilitated and non- habilitated researchers at these faculties. The faculty of Medicine represents a well-balanced use of personnel costs. Three faculties (Social Sciences, Humanities, and Sciences) have to pay dramatically more for their older aged habilitated and non-habilitated personnel. For the entire university and two faculties, Medicine and Humanities, a positive and significant relationship between age and the average weekly teaching performance is shown. This study suggests that institutions with a high percentage of older researchers, mainly in the categories of habilitated and non- habilitated personnel, must change their policy to become more flexible and attractive for new talented young people. Due to the fact, that this cannot only be realized through the introduction of new laws, each faculty must establish a scientific plan combined with reorganizations of the personnel structure and personnel costs.

The present work seeks to analyze the perception of professors about the possibilities and difficulties of integration between University, Market and Government in the local context of Montes Claros-MG, Brazil. This study was carried out using mixed methods. Methodological procedures were carried out based on qualitative data collection through semi-structured interviews and quantitative data collection performed by survey questionnaires. Data was triangulated for a better analysis of the findings. Four practical issues emerged as important factors that influence the integration capacity among the agents: fragility and lack of institutional support to ensure legal stability; motivations of Professors; the need of external agents interest for the activities carried out at the university and, finally, the importance of an administrative technostructure capable of providing support.

Innovativeness and competitiveness are modern concepts upon which national and regional politics across the world are based. To achieve the global competitiveness of a certain country it is necessary to build regional competitiveness due to a significant role of a region as a basic development unit. Leaders of economic policy on a regional level need to be able to give answers to basic questions of economic policy: “what do we want to produce in our region”, “how do we want industrial companies to produce in our region” and “for whom is what to be done”. Pronounced regional imbalance of Croatia imposes the need for finding of new generators of economic growth and prosperity. The paper aims to discuss the green industry concept as a possible solution which will favourize regional locations that record the regional problem. Finally, it is discussed what a decentralized approach to industrial policy should be. Key factors required for decentralization should be assessed, such as the ma...

The Second Conference on the Triple Helix of University-Industry-Government Relations focused on" the future location of research." In this report, the Triple Helix thesis is developed into a recursive model of how an overlay of communications operates on the underlying institutions. Market selections, innovative dynamics, and network controls provide different codes of communication at the global level. Local translations at the interfaces induce adaptation mechanisms in the institutional arrangements. While two dynamics tend ...

Indigenous proteases in the skin of unicorn leatherjacket (Alutherus monoceros) were characterised using autolytic study. Maximised autolysis was found at pH 7 and 50 °C. Autolysis was markedly inhibited by 0.04 mM soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI), suggesting that heat activated serine protease was predominant in the skin. The impact of indigenous proteases on the properties of gelatin extracted from unicorn leatherjacket skin was investigated. Gelatin was extracted from unicorn leatherjacket skin using distilled water at 50 °C for 12 h in the presence and absence of 0.04 mM SBTI. In the presence of SBTI, the degradation was markedly inhibited, but a lower gelatin extraction yield was obtained (P < 0.05). Extracted gelatins contained α1 and α2 chains as the predominant components with some degradation peptides. FTIR spectra indicated a greater loss of molecular order of the triple helix and a higher degradation was found in gelatin extracted in the absence of 0.04 mM SBTI. The net charge of gelatin samples extracted with and without 0.04 mM SBTI became zero at pHs of 8.45 and 7.31, respectively, as determined by ζ-potential titration. Higher gel strength (320.68 ± 3.02 g) was obtained in gelatin extracted with SBTI, compared with that of gelatin extracted without SBTI (288.63 ± 1.44 g). High emulsifying activity index but lower emulsifying stability index was observed in the former. Therefore, heat-activated serine protease was involved in the degradation of gelatin molecules, thereby affecting the yield, proteinaceous components and properties of gelatin from unicorn leatherjacket skin.► Indigenous proteases hydrolysed gelatin from skin of unicorn leatherjacket during extraction. ► Soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) could prevent the degradation of gelatin during extraction. ► Gelatin extracted in the presence of SBTI had the improved functional properties.

The city of Eindhoven, with 210.000 inhabitants the fifth largest city of the Netherlands, constitutes a remarkable case of knowledge-based development. Less than 25 years ago, Eindhoven was an industrial town deeply affected by economic and social decline due to processes of de-industrialisation. Since then, the city in connection with its surrounding region has successfully reinvented itself as the major technology node of the Netherlands. Its successful economic development is not only based on technology, but has been carefully supplemented and merged with activities linked to creative design, considered indispensable for economic competitiveness. The paper describes the process of economic transformation of the city-region of Eindhoven, and examines the roles of knowledge and technology, quality of place, and organizational capacity in mutual coherence. Although the Eindhoven region is a rather successful example of knowledge-based development, the paper also addresses limitati...

Higher education plays an increasingly critical role in the economic competitiveness of local, state, and national economies. The factors driving the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Index are examined to illustrate how higher education has come to be viewed as a driver of economic growth. Then, by examining institutional economic development reports and national economic competitiveness plans, this chapter lays out the growing global interest and import of economic competitiveness and the ways in which governments are seeking to harness the power of higher education to support their own competitiveness. It concludes with a discussion of how governments, businesses, and higher education institutions could collaborate to develop public agendas to guide, among other things, the economic contributions of colleges and universities.

In the last decade, technology parks and incubators have
been multiplied as a tool for promoting local economic development.
However, little has been discussed about the evaluation
of these initiatives. As a contribution to this debate, this paper outlines a methodology for maturity assessment in innovation habitats based on the triple helix model (academic, business and government interactions). Based on existing maturity models, we offer a proposed method to evaluate park projects based on eleven criteria as identified in the literature. In order to illustrate the application of such method we analyzed the experiences of Sophia Antipolis, in southern France, and Petrópolis Technopolis in Rio de Janeiro. We conclude that while this approach is still incipient due to lack of consensus on criteria to
be used or the most appropriate weight for each measure, it is an improvement on a purely qualitative analysis of maturity in technology park projects. It can facilitate comparison of experiences, identification of weaknesses and prioritization of strategies for strengthening local systems of innovation by the collaborative
work of the triad of actors involved. We suggest the
method should be applied in a larger scale involving a greater number of actors from the academic, business and government spheres

Islamic social finance in Indonesia is increasingly gaining attention. It has grown faster than gross domestic products (GDP). Professionalism in managing Islamic social finance makes it able to provide broad benefits to the community. One of them is for financing and empowering the micro small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) which are the largest business sector in the economy of Indonesia. This chapter would like to describe some of the practices of the Islamic social finance partnership model for MSMEs in Indonesia. There are five partnership models that will be discussed. Then, the relationship between each stakeholder of the five partnership models will be explained by the Helix Approach. Finally, the mapping results of the stakeholder relationship become the generic Islamic helix model, namely a basic Islamic social financial partnership model, as evidence from Indonesia, to finance and empower MSMEs.

Quali sono le relazioni tra il sistema produttivo e la pianificazione urbana e territoriale? Quanta attenzione pone, oggi, la pianificazione urbana e territoriale agli ecosistemi dell'innovazione e agli incubatori d'impresa, che polarizzano dei network di imprese (soprattutto start up innovative)? La prima istanza pone l'attenzione su un cambiamento all'interno della disciplina che parte delle teorie e dagli strumenti e va a considerare anche gli approcci, rivalutando tanto l'innovazione tecnologica alla base delle Smart City, approccio spesso ancora metaforico e troppo settoriale, quanto le modalità di rigenerazione territoriale a partire dall'innovazione istituzionale, se non proprio una strana intersezione di entrambi gli aspetti. La seconda istanza richiede, invece, un ripensamento più radicale delle pratiche della disciplina e va ad impattare anche su ulteriori questioni che legano in generale la governance alla co-pianificazione (in chiave di Tripla Elica) o, nel dettaglio, i quadri conoscitivi con la capacità analitica ed interpretativa per un più efficace supporto alle decisioni, oltre ad altri contributi provenienti da questa nuova integrazione 4.0. Il paper partendo da alcune riflessioni di G. Astengo (1953), dalla letteratura scientifica e da uno studio preliminare, condotto su 75 incubatori di imprese riconsidera il ruolo, le competenze e le risorse di questi nuovi attori nel quadro generale del sistema della pianificazione urbana e territoriale e delle policies ad esso connesse.

This article develops an inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary framework of analysis that relates knowledge, innovation and the environment (natural environments) to each other. For that purpose the five-helix structure model of the Quintuple Helix is being introduced. The Triple Helix model, designed by Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff (2000), focuses on the relations of universities, industry and governments. The Quadruple Helix (Carayannis & Campbell, 2009) blends in the perspective of a media-based and culture-based public. The Quintuple Helix finally frames knowledge and innovation in the context of the environment (natural environments). Therefore, the Quintuple Helix can be interpreted as an approach in line with sustainable development and social ecology. “Eco-innovation” and “eco-entrepreneurship” should be processed in such a broader understanding of knowledge and innovation.

This paper analyses how knowledge-based practices adopted by innovation intermediaries enable them to generate value for themselves when collaborating with their clients. While the literature focuses on value creation for their client organisations, little is known about how innovation intermediaries create internal value even though this is essential for ensuring their long-term survival and sustaining their key facilitating role in the innovation system. This understudied issue is explored using empirical evidence from a sub-set of innovation intermediaries, Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs). The results indicate that by capitalising on existing knowledge vested in employees and collaborators as well as understanding and shaping the knowledge base of the innovation ecosystem, innovation intermediaries generate internal value from their involvement in collaborative innovation, which range from different financial to non-financial types of value. Implications for intermediaries, their collaborators and for policymakers are then discussed.

The starting point for the enormous career of the Future Skills concept is the insight that current concepts of higher education do not meet the urgent needs of our societies with convincing future concepts. Neither are they fit to help sustain our environment nor associated social or economic challenges. While social challenges are exacerbated by an accelerating process of globalisation and digital advancement, at the same time these are the very forces that enable a multitude of new options for human development. In this situation of digital acceleration, the characteristic feature is that of uncertainty and the inevitable necessity is that of creative responsibility.
The NextSkills Studies are about models for future relevant skills, so-called Future Skills. They are developed through a multitude of research activities over the last decade, involving a diverse range of international experts. Future Skills are the skills that enable future graduates to master the challenges of the future in the best possible way. The results show that in order to deal with future challenges, students must develop curiosity, imagination, vision, resilience and self-confidence, as well as the ability to act in a self-organised way. They must be able to understand and respect the ideas, perspectives and values of others, and they must be able to deal with mistakes and regressions, while at the same time progressing with care, even against difficulties.

Interactions among academia and industry as a research theme is getting more and more attention of scholars from different fields and policy makers, due to the synergy of these relationships and what they can generate as benefits in terms of innovation, technology, development and economic growth. Literature in this field provides evidences, practices and several aspects of university-industry linkages worldwide. However, little is known about Africa and knowledge about this phenomenon is still limited. This paper is aiming to give a state of the art of different incarnations of university-industry linkages in Africa through analysing literature and secondary data. We identified 31 African countries in The Global Innovation Index reports (from 2011 to 2018), which has an index on university-industry research collaboration. Then, we gathered literature of those countries by searching related keywords to university-industry linkages. Based on what we obtained as information, we build a general idea about this phenomenon in African context, exposing realities and challenges, leading the way to new research streams for future studies.

This paper discusses subject from the quotidian of regional economic development. The questions emerge from the insertion of technology innovation or its diffusion in the
environment where actors from three spheres interact - academic, government and industrial.
As a tool viable to identify and analyze these questions was created a theoretical framework that joins concepts, methodologies and practices from different fields of knowledge. The paper is structured in three sessions with the objective, from a merger of technology innovation management concepts and project management practice, to discuss questions about the application of this methodology in the environment of Triple Helix relationships. The first
session presents a proposed methodology to manage projects oriented to create technology innovations. The second session identifies three relevant questions in the management of this
kind of project. The final session is a discussion based on initial results of the research.

Hochschulbildung befindet sich weltweit in einem dramatischen Umbruch. Stu- dienanfängerquoten von über 70 Prozent innerhalb der nächsten 15 Jahre in den Industrieländern sowie eine drastisch steigende Nachfrage in den Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländern markieren einen neuen Stellenwert und eine gewandelte Funktion der Hochschulbildung in Gesellschaften des postmodernen Zeitalters. Zur gleichen Zeit steigen die Anforderungen an Hochschulen, ihre Absolventinnen und Absolventen darauf vorzubereiten, eine globale und digitalisierte Welt von morgen zu gestalten. Die Rolle die der Hochschulbildung für die Umsetzung der Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung (Sustainable Development Goals) zukommt, spricht eine deutliche Sprache: Ohne eine inhaltliche und organisatorisch erneu- erte Hochschule der Zukunft werden gesellschaftliche Problemlagen wie sie etwa mit dem Klimawandel verbunden sind, Herausforderungen der zukünftig noch zunehmenden Migration, Konflikte, die durch populistische Gesellschafts- und Politikentwürfe entstehen und die damit verbundenen Frage nach der Zukunft der Demokratie, nicht zu lösen sein. Die Entwicklung eines erneuerten gesell- schaftlichen Konsenses über die Rolle der Hochschulbildung der Zukunft erfor- dert es, Foren und Kanäle zu schaffen, in denen die Frage der Hochschulbildung der Zukunft diskutiert werden kann. Die Reihe „Zukunft der Hochschulbildung“ hat zum Ziel, Beiträge aus der ganzen Breite der wissenschaftlichen und gesell- schaftspolitischen Themen aufzugreifen und damit die Entwicklung von tragfähi- gen Konzepten für die Zukunft der Hochschulbildung zu unterstützen.
Die Themen der Reihe spannen sich von tiefgehenden Gesellschaftsanalysen, der Bedeutung des Wissenschaftssystems und Hochschulbildungssystems in der Gesellschaft der Zukunft bis hin zu Fragen des zukünftigen Hochschulmanage- ments. Dabei werden empirische Studien aber auch grundlegende Ansätze zu Hochschulinnovationsthemen fokussiert, auch zu Detailthemen, wie bspw. alter- nativen Studienformen, Mikrozertifikaten, der digitalen Transformation, Block- chain für die Hochschule und anderen Themen.

Universities play a unique role in ecosystems of innovation. They interact with the other agents of the Triple Helix model, developing their functions in relation to each other and together with industry and government. Grounded in key conceptual frameworks—Triple Helix, Regional Innovation Systems and Entrepreneurial University—we analyze how the leading universities in Silicon Valley (UC Berkeley, Stanford and UC San Francisco) have evolved, adapting to new demands and, in turn, shaping the evolution of Silicon Valley. To do so we use quantitative and qualitative data and examine the changes occurring between 2007 and 2018. A close examination of the data from this period reveals an increased attention to entrepreneurship education and an intensified activity of technology transfer offices. Equally relevant are the increased interactions between universities and investors (business angels, Venture Capital funds and corporate investors), and the improvement of specific infrastructu...

The university-industry linkage is governed by public policies. These policies are contained in national government plans that seek for efficiency when taking decisions and transparency during the government's administration. This paper analyzes Bardach's eight-step model, university-industry linkage policies from 2007 to 2012. As a result we propose ten strategies that aim to strength university-industry linkage policies.

Abstrak Tahun 1990-an merupakan tahun kebangkitan ekonomi kreatif, dimana negara-negara maju tidak bisa lagi mengandalkan kepada supremasi industri, tetapi harus lebih mengandalkan pada SDM kreatif yang mengintensifkan informasi dan kreativitas. Sektor industri yang digerakkann oleh kreatifitas dan SDM yang kreatif disebut dengan industri kreatif. Terdapat 15 sub sektor industri kreatif diantaranya adalah (1) periklanan; (2) arsitektur; (3) pasar barang seni; (4) kerajinan; (5) desain; (6) Fesyen; (7) video, film dan fotografi; (8) permainan interaktif; (9) musik; (10) seni pertunjukkan; (11) penerbitan dan percetakan; (12) layanan komputer dan piranti lunak; (13) televisi dan radio; (14) riset dan pengembangan, (15). Kuliner. Industri perangkat lunak masuk ke dalam sub sektor industri kreatif yang dianggap cukup potensial. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari kontribusi yang diberikan dalam pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional, pertumbuhan PDB, dan penyerapan jumlah tenaga kerja yang cukup signifikan. Untuk meningkatkan potensi ini diperlukan sebuah analisis tentang kondisi sektor perangkat lunak di Indonesia dalam rangka mendukung perkembangan ekonomi kreatif. Metodologi yang digunakan untuk melakukan analisis tersebut adalah dengan pendekatan triple helix, dimana kondisi yang ada dipetakan ke dalah tiga variabel yaitu akademisi, bisnis dan pemerintahan. Berdasarkan analisis tersebut diharapkan produk-produk industri perangkat lunak yang dihasilkan dapat memiliki kualitas yang baik dan berdaya saing tinggi, sehingga dapat bersaing dengan produk impor. Kata Kunci : ekonomi kreatif, perangkat lunak, industri, daya saing, triple helix Abstract 1990 was a year of awakening the creative economy, in which developed countries can no longer rely on the supremacy of the industry , but it must rely more on creative Human Rsesources that intensify information and creativity. The industrial sector is driven by creativity and creative human resources called

Due to the political collapse in Central and Eastern Europe at the end
of 20th century, economic crises in European Union at the beginning
of 21st century and the continuing enlargement of the European
Union cross-border regions have grown considerably in number and
importance in the last years.
European Union in 2000 in Lisbon adopted development strategy
known as Lisbon strategy, with strategic objective EU till 2010 to
become the most competitive and dynamic economy in the world, based
on knowledge, capable to achieve the sustainable growth with higher
number of quality work places and stronger social cohesion.1 The time
has shown that Europe did not succeed to transform itself into the most
competitive and dynamic economy in the world, however in spite to
all that the objectives of the Lisbon strategy are not to be interpreted
as false and surpassed, rather they are initial base for the elaboration
of the Strategy 2000. Among the member states and regions there are
enormous structural differences, as well as the differences in the degree
of the development and structural cohesion. Europe proactively moves
towards problems solving and continues its way towards formation
of knowledge based society, and that process up to now has resulted
with the European Commission document: Europe 2020 A strategy
for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.2 Europe 2020 tends to
transform European Union into smarter, more sustainable and more
inclusive economy, resulting with higher degree of employment, social
cohesion, productivity and more developed social capital.
Europe is oriented towards three mutually connected priorities:
smart growth – the development of economy based on knowledge
and innovation (scientifi c-technological research and development,
innovation, education and digital society); sustainable growth –
simultaneously gives and incentive to competitiveness and production
which more effi ciently refers towards resources, promotes more
effi cient use of resources, greener and more competitive economy;
inclusive growth – better participation in labor market, struggle against
poverty and social cohesion.
In the light of great economic crisis ravening the global economy
and threatening to Europe and to regions of the European rim, it is
indispensable to fi nd an adequate model which could mitigate menaces
to economy. Which are the reasons that Europe and regions of Osijek-
Baranja County in Croatia and Baranya County in Hungary did not
succeed to attain the sustainable development and the growth of
economy? To which extent there is an impact of the fact that knowledge
from research and development and educational institutions is slowly
and inadequately transferred to economy? Why Europe in average lags
behind its major competitors on the market, America and East Asia?
How to organize cooperation of scientifi c and research institution with
the economy in order this region not to stay behind at the hinterland of
integration processes?
The fi rst step is to review the regional capacities of Osijek-Baranja
County in Croatia and Baranya County in Hungary.

Coconut trees can grow in nearly all parts of tropical countries because it does not require any special requirements for growth. In particular, value-added products by processing coconut, among others: coco chemical, coco fiber, coconut oil, desiccated coconut, Nata de coco, activated charcoal, etc. In the Philippines, the significant coconut squanders incorporate coconut shell (12%), coconut husks (35%), and coconut coir dust. This study aims to understand the productivity condition and innovation system in the coconut industrial cluster as part of the sectoral innovation system. The study is carried out by identifying and analyzing the interaction between coconut industry actors and the landscape of coconut industry policies and provide recommendations for better improvement on the interaction model for the coconut industry in the Philippines. These research outputs identify actors and their interaction in the Philippines coconut industry, its constraints and challenges, the conclusion to the case and proposed model for better off coconut productivity and innovation, and further recommendations. This research identified the Philippines coconut industry actors, from the Government actors (PCA) and its program, strategies, and policies, Business actors (Davao based firms), and Civil society and Academia actors, analyze its interactions and proposed better model in helices of the interaction of actors (Academic, Business, Government, and Civil Society) of the Philippines coconut industry.

In the current era of the fourth industrial revolution, the creation of new knowledge and the production and diffusion of innovation constitute the most critical dimensions of development and under-development. In this direction, for over two decades, a useful conceptual contribution is the triple-helix theory: the interconnection of universities, firms, and governmental policies. The aim of this study is through a periodization of the helix theory literature to understand how this approach is related to new perceptions of innovation and to describe its possible future analytical perspectives. Within the present phase of the fourth industrial revolution, the institutional dimensions of a socioeconomic system (including universities, industries, and government policies) are following complex and co-evolving development trajectories and we must perceive them in their specific historical and spatial configurations.

Universities are key resources in the cultural and business development of creative knowledge cities. They are generally highly integrated in the city and its economy, and play a crucial role in attracting and retaining talent. Strong ties between universities and cities seem to be essential conditions for further development. Policies may be developed to build on and enhance these strengths. Universities are also important for other reasons: national and international students visit the universities, and they create ‘anchor points’ for future settlers. They are key nodes in the networks of transnational migrants and migrants from inside the country, but also for all others who might be searching for jobs in growth sectors of the economy. Universities are vital elements in combination with personal networks and must be incorporated in urban policies
