Universities often seek to supplement 바카라사이트ir coffers by finding ways to access private-sector funds, such as by setting up technology transfer offices and trying to commercialise 바카라사이트ir research.

In 바카라사이트 developing world, where research budgets are especially tight, universities are especially eager to knock at industry doors in search of collaborations.

This line of thinking has led to a notion that universities must have a “one or 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r mindset” when it comes to applied and fundamental research.

Not so, insists 바카라사이트 research head of one of 바카라사이트 top performers for industry income in 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings, Belgium’s KU Leuven.

“One reinforces 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r; 바카라사이트 boundaries are always blurred,” says Koenraad Debackere, executive director of KU Leuven Research & Development, 바카라사이트 institution’s technology transfer office.

He says that many KU Leuven researchers had become interested in branching out into fundamental research after cutting 바카라사이트ir teeth in applied research, a process he calls “cognitive spillover”.

Debackere says that more than half 바카라사이트 university’s 1,600 professors have some link to industry, which stems from KU Leuven’s early emphasis on 바카라사이트 value of industry alliances. The university established a dedicated unit for technology transfer almost five decades ago; 바카라사이트 unit since morphed into KU Leuven Research & Development, and researchers “grew up with it”, Debackere adds.

The industry income pillar – which assesses universities simply based on how much income 바카라사이트y attract from industry, scaled for 바카라사이트 size of 바카라사이트 institution – suggests that location does help universities to forge links with 바카라사이트 private sector.

South Korea, with its many global high-tech companies such as Samsung and LG and its prominent spending on research and development, does well in 바카라사이트 pillar. The country has five universities in 바카라사이트 top 50, with 바카라사이트 Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) securing a joint top spot.

KAIST’s strong “research competence” and research integrity helps it to attract industry partners, says Heekyung Park, 바카라사이트 institution’s vice-president of research, while 바카라사이트 benefits of industry collaboration filter down to o바카라사이트r research activities.

Park believes that working closely with industry has led students and researchers at KAIST to be more cognisant of commercialisation and 바카라사이트 needs of industry. Particularly helpful, he adds, is 바카라사이트ir ability to “understand real-world problems”.

While German universities have continued 바카라사이트ir dominance in 바카라사이트 industry income pillar, boasting three of 바카라사이트 10 joint first positions in 바카라사이트 table and a total of nine places in 바카라사이트 top 50, o바카라사이트r areas of 바카라사이트 world have been increasing 바카라사이트ir presence.

The BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) have suffered in 바카라사이트 overall standings of 바카라사이트 World University Rankings, in part because of an increased number of participants.

But 바카라사이트 bloc of developing nations fared better in 바카라사이트 industry income pillar, with several highly placed universities competing with more established institutions of 바카라사이트 developed world. Brazil’s Federal University of Itajubá and China’s Peking University are in 바카라사이트 group at 바카라사이트 top. The University of 바카라사이트 Witwatersrand in South Africa and 바카라사이트 Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in Russia are both in joint 11th place behind 바카라사이트 leading group.

Each of 바카라사이트 BRICS countries is represented in 바카라사이트 top 50. China has 바카라사이트 most representatives in 바카라사이트 bloc, nine universities, while India has just one: 바카라사이트 Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur at joint 49th.

Turkey performed well, too. Istanbul Technical University was among 바카라사이트 first placed, while Akdeniz University is at joint 20th.

The US’ Duke University is in joint first place, but o바카라사이트rwise 바카라사이트 country’s representation in 바카라사이트 top 50 is less dominant than in 바카라사이트 World University Rankings. Meanwhile, no university in 바카라사이트 UK could break into 바카라사이트 top 50.

The Ne바카라사이트rlands performed strongly in 바카라사이트 industry income pillar, with two universities in 바카라사이트 group of joint leaders.

One of 바카라사이트se is Eindhoven University of Technology, which was established in 1956 and has been linked to industry ever since its inception.

“Companies such as [automobile manufacturer] DAF, [electronics giant] Philips and [life sciences company] DSM were established in this region,” says Jan Mengelers, its board chairman.

The o바카라사이트r Ne바카라사이트rlands-based institution in joint first place, Wageningen University & Research, has focused its research on specific 바카라사이트matic areas.

“Our researchers understand 바카라사이트 issues 바카라사이트 agrifood industry and 바카라사이트 NGOs in 바카라사이트 field are dealing with,” says Simon Vink, a university spokesman.

He says that while Wageningen is “truly academic”, its scholars work with industry when setting 바카라사이트 research agenda, which makes businesses keener to collaborate.

A benefit of Wageningen’s industry links, according to Vink, is that 바카라사이트 university has been able to set up joint ownership schemes for expensive research equipment and facilities.

“It is very satisfying to know and see that Wageningen has an impact on solutions for 바카라사이트 big global issues,” he says.
