1 Higher education institutions are traditionally seen as producers of new knowledge, technology and quality graduates. Today they are also supposed to be platforms of co-created innovations and improvements in society. This is a challenge for all higher education institutions. The creation of technological, economical and social innovation requires new types of actions and collaboration from institutions of higher education as well as from their management, teachers, researchers and students. Co-creation of innovations is both the process and outcome. It requires action and application in context. Luckily European higher education is rich with innovative actors from universities and universities of applied sciences acting in the global innovation ecosystem. This book is an interesting and multifaceted report of higher education institutes and their actions of the field of innovation. Contributors come from three continents. Same themes and challenges are met on different levels everywhere. Management and enthusiastic developers find their solutions within their own context. The cases are source of benchmarking and inspiration for all who are interested in the new ways of combining higher education institutions and innovation.

6 Foreword This book is about universities and their new roles in knowledge society. In the knowledge society universities face many challenges. The book shows that universities can not only react to changes but they can also to take a proactive role. In addition to challenges universities also face many opportunities. There are new ways to collaborate and interact with industry and other producers of knowledge locally, nationally and internationally. Business is turning global, so do universities and their knowledge creation. There are also new roles for the students. These are based on activation of students to become actors in knowledge creation and innovation networks. Students and universities are supposed to have an entrepreneurial touch and grow to be actors of sustainable innovation systems. The authors explain how their universities have responded to the new requirements and opportunities. Contributors and cases are from universities across from three continents. Cases describe in more detail new models for interaction and innovation. Some models are already tested and noticed to be good practices on their field. Some are emerging new models. The book provides solutions for some contexts. They are a good source for benchmarking and learning. Cases can also serve as source of inspiration. The rest is up to the reader. Everyone must create their own model in their own context. The book writing process was originated and guided by the R&D group of Rectors Conference of Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences in spring The authors were invited by editors to contribute. The editors wish to thank all contributors for their commitment and valuable work. We also thank Rectors Conference of Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences for making this interesting collaborative journey possible, and Mikkeli UAS Tutka project for its financial contribution enabling the publication of this book. We hope that reading of this book will be as enjoyable as the writing process was. 15th August 2008 Kari Laine Peter van der Sijde Matti Lähdeniemi Jaakko Tarkkanen Foreword

8 Foreword of Rectors Conference of Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences ARENE Higher education institutions are traditionally seen as producers of new knowledge and technology. Today they are more and more supposed to be platforms of co-created innovations and improvements in society. This is a challenge for all higher education institutions. The creation of technological, economical and social innovation requires new types of actions and collaboration from institutions of higher education as well as from their management, teachers and researchers. Co-creation of innovations is both the process and outcome. It requires action and application in context. This book is an interesting and multifaceted report of higher education institutes and their actions of the field of innovation. Same themes and challenges are met on different levels everywhere. Management and enthusiastic developers find their solutions within their own context. The cases presented in this book are a rich review of solutions created on three continents. Innovative actions and their best practices of are presented and international collaboration and networking are also explored. In Finland Universities of applied sciences are an important part of innovation networks and their regional impact is remarkable. With this book ARENE wants to participate to debate over innovation co-creation and innovation policy nationally and internationally. ARENE hopes that this book works not only as source of discussion but also encourages actors to new innovative actions between higher education institutions and their partners in the knowledge society.

10 Introduction Universities are among the oldest institutions in the world. Until the last century their tasks remained unchanged: education and research. Recently a new task is added to this: service to the community, or outreach activities, or knowledge transfer, or research valorization. Not only has this third task many names, it also has many faces old faces and new faces, because of the recent changes in society: from an information society into a knowledge society. A knowledge society creates shares and uses knowledge for the prosperity and well-being of its people (Wikipedia). In such a society universities operate. Traditionally speaking the role of a university is to create knowledge, but it has lost its prerogative as the sole contributor to knowledge production and to share knowledge via education. The use of knowledge is, tradionally, the prerogative of industry and that has changed too. Universities face new challenges and opportunities of in the knowledge society. There are several, just to name some of them: There is a growing competition for students between universities;... not all universities are the same and not at every university has the same emphasis; There is a need to increase the amount of external funding for all... university tasks, e.g. curriculum reform toward competencies in stead of just knowledge There is a general expectation that universities contribute to the innovation system and processes on regional, national and international levels; Universities are seen as the incubators for entrepreneurship and... disruptive innovation (often referred to as commercialising research results and/or research valorization). As one significant producer of knowledge universities are also in centre of innovation systems, but there are also many other large producers of knowledge like for example large global firms. Also small firms, particularly knowledge intensive ones, are considered to be important actors in innovation networks as well, just as consultants and private research organisations have their role. For universities the question in not only how to create usable research knowledge or find the needed knowledge, but how to become a partner and act in dynamic innovation networks and how to combine knowledge from several sources and co-create it with other organisations to contribute into innovativeness of industry and society as whole. This requires a multidisciplinary approach and research into applications combined with market intelligence. In innovation there are also two kinds of processes (Lester and Piore 2004). There are goal oriented processes where targets are known and then there are more open ended processes for searching of new strategies, markets, challenges and goals. Higher education institutes are supposed to be an actor in both types of networks and processes. Higher education is also supposed to help others to innovate, not only to innovate itself. This creates expectations and also higher education institutions are expected to have new Introduction
11 competences and processes on areas of innovation and productive collaboration. New types of partnerships based on trust and openness are needed to collaborate. Knowledge creation in research requires many times long lasting partnerships but innovation requires also dynamic networking. This requires balancing between two worlds. In the search of new innovations higher education institutions also must be able to connect to new research, knowledge creation networks and innovation networks at the same time. In the future there is also need to connect to more application and users of the knowledge and technology. All this affects the ways how teaching and research are organised. All together new ways that build interaction with other actors and between the processes in house are to be developed. Changes affect also to recruitment of new people. Industry wants to hire people who have good contacts to industry; universities want to have researchers who can have good relations to industry, are ready, able and willing to mentor students to become entrepreneurs and teachers who want to use new teaching methods. Changes all over: On of the most demanding challenges universities face is to manage this change. There is not only a need to entrepreneurially change (Clark 1998), but to sustain such an entrepreneurial change in Universities (Clark 2004). Institutional changes may be slow, but innovative trials can often be done fast. The challenges for higher education institutes are similar than in change management in general: Firstly, how to decide what kind of change is needed, Secondly, to decide what partners can be attracted to collaborate and create the change together, Thirdly, how to start the change and Forth, keep the momentum and sustain the change. Changes are needed both on strategic and operational levels. Change management requires great leadership competencies. Schattock (2003) observed that leadership is most likely to make the difference for successful universities. New metrics to measure success are also needed. Metrics for the new task should be more based on entrepreneurial impact. Students are a true asset for higher education institutes. One of the key issues is how true entrepreneurship and innovation can be brought to curricula and campus and how to increase entrepreneurial and innovative spirit on the campus. Students can also be an important chain in collaboration with industry and co-innovation. Those who can reveal the true talent of students may be the winners of the future innovation game. This in not to be done alone but together with world class partners in society. University interaction with industry and other universities: knowledge circulation The above supposes the circulation and exchange of knowledge that leads to learning for all parties involved. Universities can learn from industry and visa versa in many domains; the implementation of what is learned, we call innovation. 10 Introduction
12 Innovative actions within universities can be done in collaboration with (large and small) industry. There is a need to increase interaction to be more innovative and impact the regional and national innovation ecosystem. These interactions can lead to: innovations and innovating research, modelling innovation processes in new ways participation in innovation networks a new role in the innovation ecosystem, to improve innovative climate in universities There are plenty of opportunities to improve collaboration with other universities and knowledge producers to improve performance. University and Innovation: about the contributions This book describes what can be done at universities to increase innovativeness and entrepreneurial actions on regional, national and international levels. There solutions can be innovative educational solutions, new public private partnerships, new programs and curricula, innovative learning environments and innovative pedagogical solutions and collaborative applications research. These can be done together with industry and stakeholders, not alone any more. These means are used to add agility, accelerate learning and increase knowledge creation. In this book there are 12 contributions all addressing the topic of innovation. The contributions can be divided over three main areas of innovation: Educational and Institutional Reform Regional and Transregional Engagement Co-Creation of Entrepreneurship and innovation In educational and institutional reform (Laine, Van der Heide and van der Sijde, Grundling and Steynberg, Powell, McGowan and Bridge) we see that the outside world of the university (industry and other sectors of activity) is brought into the academia. The academic curricula are enriched through the engagement with entrepreneurship and industry. Students are prepared for an entrepreneurial life after their university education. The contributions grouped under regional and transregional engagement (Rauhala, Baken and Schröder, Tulkki, Ruuskanen, Del Anno and Peruta) have in common that the universities combine both research and education in their activities to transfer knowledge to industry and SMEs. Finally, the contribution to the theme co-creation of entrepreneurship and innovation (Taatila and Vyakarnam, Gras, Lapera and Moreno, Jussila, Pirnes, Rajala and Hagino) The universities and their activities that are described in the cases present their activities to set up specific research centres with and for the industry and SMEs. All together, as the contributions illustrate, an innovative university is more Introduction 11
13 than entrepreneurial university. It connects not only to knowledge creation networks and entrepreneurship, but also to industrial innovation networks. The university is becoming part of all these types of networks and activities. The aim of an innovative university is to make a contribution to society and industry, braking down the ivory towers, bridging the gap between knowledge creating and its application: the university is an active and not a passive player in the open innovation arena. The role of the future higher education institutes is to design and engage, in partnerships with society, industry and SMEs world-class academic curricula, world-class education and world-class research. All this aims to provide students with state of the art knowledge and competences for a career in industry, SME or as an entrepreneur and for universities to be a partner and a major player in the open innovation system.
