  1. Preparing for Tomorrow’s CRISU- CRISU-CUPT CONFERENCE Research Innovation and Leveraging the Results in Academia-Industry Cooperation First Hand Experiences and Trends Mervyn Levin

  2. The Research and Commercial Interface • Some Current Activities – 2012 • Assessing Suitability For Government Funded Innovation e.g. Digital Industries, Creative Industries, SMEs, Cloud Computing • USD 75 million • Monitoring Portfolio 25 Collaborative R&D Projects • e.g. Digital, Creative, Construction, Manufacturing • USD 35 million

  3. Selection of Academic Partners and Clients

  4. China Govt.

  5. Selection of Industry Partners and Clients

  6. Selection of Industry Partners and Clients

  7. Thailand (NSTDA/NECTEC) and Indonesia (BPPT) ICT Research Innovation Priorities EU SEACOOP Red=Common to Both Countries, Black=Thailand Only, Blue=Indonesia Only • Information Security • Embedded Systems • E-Learning Technologies • Open Source/Open Standards • Low Cost Computing and Inclusive/Accessible Computing • RFID • Digital Libraries • Environment/Energy Management • E-Health • Robotics and Automation • Intelligent Vehicular and Mobility Access • Next Generation Computing • Grid Computing • Web Technologies • Wireless Broadband/Sensor Networks

  10. Some Mechanisms for Stimulating Research and Commercial Collaboration • Collaborative Research and Development • Knowledge Transfer Partnerships • Secondments • Internships • Knowledge Transfer Networks • Science Parks • Incubators, e.g. Entrepreneurship

  11. What Do Academics Want from Industry? • Peer recognition • Real world experience • Intellectual property • Making their students employable with appropriate skills

  12. What Does Industry Want from Universities? • Research • Legitimacy • ‘Free’ • Talent (plus ‘creative cool’ / underground subculture) to provide commercial edge

  13. Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration (or why it doesn’t need to be difficult) • Business ‘Dating’ • Power of Referral of Students Working in Industry • Mentors • At Least 50% of University Staff Working Part-Time in Industry

  14. 1stHand Lessons Overseeing Business-Led R&D with Universities • Complementary of Skill Sets in Rich Learning Setting • Trust • Mutual Understanding of Objectives and Expectations • Clarity of Project Deliverables • Protection and Exploitation of Intellectual Property • Upfront Agreement on Dispute Resolution

  15. How Can Universities Position Themselves to Work with Industry? • Academics wearing Multiple ‘Hats’ • Attract Sponsorship • Developing Joint Funding Bids • Reshape Curricula with Cross-Disciplinary Approach

  16. Why Adopt a More Cross-Disciplinary Approach? Industry and Policy Drivers • Digitisation of Society • New Educational Approaches • Ageing Society • Climate Change

  17. Why Adopt a More Cross-Disciplinary Approach? Research Innovation and Technology Transformations • Knowledge Curation/Search (Bio Science and ICT) • 3D Printing (Nano, Electronics, Materials Engineering, Design) • Visualisation, Simulation, Interactivity (ICT, Media, Art, Pedagogy) • Internet of Things (Sensors, Data Science, Social Sciences) • Big Data (Information Management across Physical and Social Sciences)

  18. CONCLUSIONS New Approaches to Education and Research Imperative for Innovation Collaborations Between Industry and Universities Have a Positive and Significant Impact on Industry Innovation

  19. Advisory Services to Universities Enhance Research Capacity, Capability to Work with Industry and Links with Universities in Europe • Contribute to Development of More Interdisciplinary Curricula • Industry Trends Shaping University Curricula • Facilitate New Partnerships with Universities in Europe • Bring Experts from Europe • Share Case Studies of University-Industry Collaboration • Deliver Domain Knowledge, e.g. digital content, innovation, creative economy, games, programme management in collaborative environments • Proposal Writing for Funding Bids in International Programmes
