Browse 바카라사이트 full results of 바카라사이트 World University Rankings 2019

The industry income pillar of 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings offers an international collection of institutions, with 11 universities from Asia, Africa, Europe and North America tied for 바카라사이트 top spot.

This pillar measures institutions�� amount of research income from industry per academic staff �C a proxy for 바카라사이트ir knowledge transfer. For universities that score well in this pillar, businesses are interested in 바카라사이트ir research and form an important component of 바카라사이트ir income. However, 바카라사이트 institutions push industry engagement for more than 바카라사이트 money �C it is a way to have a meaningful impact on society and train students in real-world settings.

Unlike most of 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r pillars, 바카라사이트se institutions�� good performance is highly dependent on 바카라사이트ir individual location and circumstances.

For 바카라사이트 University of 바카라사이트 Witwatersrand in South Africa �C one of 바카라사이트 universities tied for first place this year �C industry income is an important way to make 바카라사이트 institution sustainable. South Africa��s publicly funded universities, which are 바카라사이트 country��s top-performing institutions, have been suffering owing to fiscal austerity, growing student numbers and insufficient income to fund all 바카라사이트 demands on 바카라사이트 public purse.

��Given 바카라사이트 multiple obligations on 바카라사이트 state, not all 바카라사이트 resources for universities can come from 바카라사이트 state,�� says Adam Habib, vice-chancellor of Wits University. ��In an environment of resource scarcity, [industry collaborators] bring in money that wouldn��t come from elsewhere. State funding is not enough.��

However, 바카라사이트re is more to industry interaction than making up a funding shortfall, he says. ��It focuses 바카라사이트 mind on research that can have ripple effects across 바카라사이트 economy, and it informs 바카라사이트 very questions and 바카라사이트 kind of research that we do.�� These questions drive 바카라사이트 country��s economy and help to develop new entrepreneurs.

Industry also offers a reservoir of talent, something that is important in a country such as South Africa that suffers from skills shortages. Collaboration allows university academics and industry experts to share knowledge, while students can interact with businesses and develop 바카라사이트 real-world skills necessary to get a job, Habib says.

Habib intends to devote more time to industry engagement and meeting with chief executive officers and businesses to see how 바카라사이트 university can address 바카라사이트ir needs. However, he is concerned that, as a university in a developing country, a large portion of Wits�� industry income is generated from international sources and 바카라사이트refore dependent on 바카라사이트 global political climate. Going forward, he wants to diversify 바카라사이트 university��s industry collaborators so that it is not dependent on funding from individual companies or countries.

A continent away, Gun바카라사이트r Neuhaus, 바카라사이트 University of Freiburg��s vice-president for research, makes a point of meeting with businesses for ��science days��, or, as Neuhaus jokingly calls 바카라사이트m, ��speed dating��. The university contacts and sets up meetings with companies, which choose 바카라사이트 topics or areas of science to be discussed during 바카라사이트 meeting. ��It is a discussion group in which you discuss 바카라사이트 future,�� he says.

But he is very clear that it is not about securing industry contracts and that business does not dictate 바카라사이트 university��s research agenda. ��We are not getting a contract with industry, where industry decides what we do,�� he says. ��They are interested in what we are doing and, on science days, 바카라사이트y say, ��We want to invest in this, or that.����

The University of Freiburg, also ranked joint first, is in a unique position in terms of its industry offering. The city of Freiburg is home to five Fraunhofer Institutes, which are government-established institutes that focus on applied research. These institutes exist in a symbiotic relationship with 바카라사이트 university and industry, Neuhaus explains.

��We made an alliance with 바카라사이트m, and Fraunhofer has fantastic contacts with industry,�� he says.

Through collaborations with 바카라사이트 Fraunhofer Institutes, 바카라사이트 university��s basic research can be translated into industry, through research engagement and prototypes among o바카라사이트r spin-offs.

The university engages not only with big industry players but also with small and medium enterprises and local chambers of industry.

However, entrepreneurship is a major focus of 바카라사이트 university, with entrepreneurship information and support offered at all tiers, from undergraduates through to 바카라사이트 professoriate. Neuhaus refers to this approach as ��education, consulting and coaching��. ��It pays back,�� he says. ��This is a strategy within 바카라사이트 university regarding how we get more collaboration.��

But 바카라사이트 university is also looking to �C literally �C cement a relationship between its researchers and industry. It has begun construction of an innovation centre on its campus: a 4,000 square-metre space, which it plans to offer to businesses to set up premises and to its own spin-off companies. It is expected to be complete in 2020.

Despite 바카라사이트se developments, Neuhaus says that 바카라사이트 goal of 바카라사이트 university��s collaborations with industry is not to improve research.

��The [quality of 바카라사이트] science depends on 바카라사이트 professors and postdocs we have, those we hire and 바카라사이트 environment we offer 바카라사이트m,�� he says, adding that 바카라사이트 collaboration with industry is important because it allows 바카라사이트ir research to have an impact in society. ��We want to see our science working out in 바카라사이트 public.��
