U.S.-Finland Cooperative Research: Models for University-Industry Interaction and Entrepreneurship in Finland

0219161莱斯特这个奖项支持弗雷泽弗莱明和一个学生从迪克讷大学在一个合作与Seija Kulkki的中心知识和创新研究在赫尔辛基经济学院在赫尔辛基，芬兰。 该项目将侧重于不同的外部和内部力量对大学，特别是技术大学的经济作用的影响，从而对产业-大学互动的性质的影响。 这种动态关系的影响可以在芬兰企业发展和创业的许多方面找到。虽然许多学者已经写了关于研究型大学在高科技产业聚集增长中的重要性以及大学和产业组织之间的密切联系作为经济发展的贡献者的重要性，但关于这一过程的动态仍有很多东西需要了解。 本研究要解决的主要问题是大学如何适应影响它们的外部力量的机会，大学的使命如何根据社会条件的变化而变化，以刺激区域增长，以及使用什么组织结构和流程来帮助技术转让和企业孵化。 数据的收集和分析将与赫尔辛基的小组一起进行，来自美国小组的几名初级研究人员将参与国际合作。

The project will focus on the impact of different external and internal forces on the economic role of the universities, particularly the technological universities and thus on the nature of industry-university interactions. Implications for this dynamic relationship are to be found in many aspects of business development and entrepreneurship in Finland.While many scholars have written about the importance of research universities in the growth of agglomerations of high-technology industry and of close ties between universities and industrial organizations as a contributor to economic development, much remains to be learned about the dynamics of the process. The main questions to be addressed by the present study are how the universities are adapting to the chances in external forces that affect them, how the missions of the universities are changing in response to changing conditions in society with respect to stimulating regional growth, and what organizational structures and processes are used to help technology transfer and business incubation. The collection and analysis of data will be done in conjunction with the group in Helsinki and several junior researcher from the US group will participate in the international collaboration.
