Wither The University? Henry Etzkowitz Stanford University, H-STAR Institute Triple Helix Research Group Henryetz@stanford.edu University of Copenhagen, Sept. 2012
Triple Helix Thesis • University plays leading role in Knowledge-based Society: shift from secondary to primary institutional sphere • Taking the role of the other e.g., university forming firms; government as venture capitalist; industry raising training to higher levels • Boundaries as integrative and regulatory structures via Interface Modalities such as Incubators, Technology Transfer Offices (TTO’s) and Science Parks
Statist Triple Helix Government Academia Industry
Statist Triple Helix • Government leads other spheres • E.g. France, China • Government-pulled Triple Helix
State Laissez-faire Triple Helix Industry Academia
Laissez-Faire Triple Helix Separate Spheres • University initiates triple helix interactions • E.g. US fedearl government ideologically precluded from taking the lead except in national emergencies like wartime • Firms expected to be strongly competitive, not cooperative, until recent changes in anti-trust laws opening the way for “open innovation.”

The Entrepreneurial University Second Academic Revolution: entrepreneurship, incubation and firm-formation as third academic mission Entrepreneurial University is non-linear: can be built on a teaching as well as a research university base Entrepreneurial University is combinatorial: entrepreneurship and research integrated (firm and academic lab in one, e.g.4G at PUCRS)
Bi-Evolution and Hybridization of University Missions • Teaching: Individuals and Organizations • Research: Individual and Group • Economic and Social Development: Companies and Region

Professors of Practice (PoPs) • Turns traditional PoP model “on its head” from teaching to research • PoP Types: • Forward linear: faculty entrepreneurs moving ½ time to Industry • Reverse linear: Industry entrepreneurs (PhDs) moving ½ time to University • Entrepreneurial role models for students and faculty • Develop large-scale projects, strengthen ties with business, retain faculty entrepreneurs in university Self-sustaining virtuous circle between University and Industry
Novum Trivium • Model for reform of undergraduate education • Update classical Trivium of grammar, rhetoric and dialectics • Structure: • A Traditional Discipline • Innovation and Entrepreneurship • Another Language and Culture
Proposal for PhD Reform • Research PhD of 3 Published articles Entrepreneurial PhD of 2 published articles and a new third element: • Translational research leading to a practical result
