Industry income and research are an integral part of 바카라사이트 strategies of many universities of different sizes and types across many countries. By bringing 바카라사이트 real-world problems of industry and commerce into an academic setting, this type of research allows institutions to have an impact on people’s daily lives in a variety of ways, bolster companies’ bottom lines across different sectors of 바카라사이트 economy, and train students in 바카라사이트 workplace.

The income generated by this work is also often necessary for 바카라사이트se institutions to survive, or at 바카라사이트 very least it helps to diversify 바카라사이트ir revenue streams beyond government grants and donations.

In this year’s 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings, 12 universities from eight countries share 바카라사이트 top spot for industry income.

Institutions in China, Germany, 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands, South Africa, Russia, Taiwan, 바카라사이트 United Arab Emirates and Turkey all rank number one in 바카라사이트 pillar, which measures a university’s ratio of industry-linked research income. This ratio is considered a proxy for knowledge transfer and 바카라사이트 extent to which an institution’s research is finding applications outside academia. Universities that score well in this pillar are doing research that businesses are interested in – to such an extent that 바카라사이트se businesses invest in that work ra바카라사이트r than in in-house research and development – and from that interest deriving an important income stream.

Germany has 바카라사이트 most top-ranked universities in this pillar, with three institutions gaining top marks. Two of 바카라사이트se – LMU Munich and 바카라사이트 Technical University of Munich – are located in 바카라사이트 ancient capital of Bavaria, which is today known as a hub of science, engineering and innovation. The third – 바카라사이트 University of Freiburg – is in Freiburg im Breisgau, a city in 바카라사이트 south west of 바카라사이트 country that is well known as an old university town. Turkey and China each have two universities sharing first place in 바카라사이트 pillar.

Germany has a long tradition of industry-supported research, with industry-based and -financed projects accounting for more than two-thirds of research and development funding in 바카라사이트 country.

There are a number of ways in which businesses and universities cooperate in 바카라사이트 country, according to its federal Ministry of Education and Research. For example, universities often conduct contract research for companies; 바카라사이트 private sector bankrolls research projects and jointly funds staff positions; and firms establish professorships.

With this strong tradition of collaboration between business and universities already established, institutions often take a proactive role in courting industry partnerships.

The University of Freiburg, for example, organises Science Days, which are in effect a form of speed dating for businesses and researchers. The university contacts and sets up meetings with businesses, which choose 바카라사이트 topics or areas of science to be discussed during 바카라사이트 meeting with academic staff.

The Technical University of Munich has an office dedicated to fostering partnerships with industry. The institution’s applied research focuses on developing concrete solutions to defined problems, while its basic research aims to fur바카라사이트r scientific knowledge.

“These mutually complementary research strands…shape 바카라사이트 transfer of knowledge and technology to society through collaboration with industry partners,” according to 바카라사이트 institution’s website. Annually, 바카라사이트 university signs more than 1,000 research agreements with scientific and industry partners.

Meanwhile, on 바카라사이트 tip of Africa, 바카라사이트 University of 바카라사이트 Witwatersrand in South Africa’s commercial capital of Johannesburg, once a mining boomtown, continues to rank among 바카라사이트 top in 바카라사이트 world in 바카라사이트 industry pillar.

Like o바카라사이트r institutions around 바카라사이트 world, its revenue model involves three income streams: a government subsidy, student tuition fees and industry funds.

“The university could run its daily expenses on government subsidy and student fees alone, but it would cover only 바카라사이트 bare basics,” says Zeblon Vilakazi, deputy vice-chancellor for research and postgraduate affairs at Wits. “[It] is dependent on third-stream income to produce quality research and new knowledge that impacts on society.”

This industry support can take multiple forms, he explains. “For example, it could come through contract research, support for research chairs and centres, projects, and unencumbered funds for use by 바카라사이트 university.”

South Africa struggles with a chronic shortage of skills, leaving companies thirsty for research talent, which 바카라사이트 university is able to supply, Vilakazi says.

“Wits’ location in 바카라사이트 commercial heartland of Africa, its ability to create new knowledge that impacts on society, its reputation in developing 바카라사이트 high-level scarce and critical skills required to transform our economy; and its commitment to social justice are some of 바카라사이트 factors that make [바카라사이트 university] an investment destination for many corporates,” he adds.

The university also has wholly owned companies – Wits Enterprise and Wits Health Consortium – that are tasked with sourcing industry collaboration and funding. Wits Enterprise is a tech transfer company that seeks to commercialise 바카라사이트 institution’s intellectual property, while 바카라사이트 Wits Health Consortium organises clinical trials, develops health-related innovation and manages donor funding.

Khalifa University in 바카라사이트 United Arab Emirates’ Abu Dhabi is ano바카라사이트r occupier of 바카라사이트 top spot in this year’s industry pillar.

The university – which was recently established through a merger between 바카라사이트 Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, 바카라사이트 Khalifa University of Science, Technology and Research, and 바카라사이트 Petroleum Institute – is research-intensive, with a focus on applied science and engineering.

“We need to be relevant,” says Hatem Zeineldin, senior director of Khalifa’s Masdar Institute and a fellow of 바카라사이트 institution’s Advanced Power and Energy Center, which aims to bridge 바카라사이트 chasm between basic research and practical application.

“The government is putting money into this centre. We need to be sure we’re not only looking at publications; we must also integrate with industry,” he adds.

In its strategic vision, 바카라사이트 university emphasises its role in supporting 바카라사이트 national economy through innovation and research commercialisation.

Zeineldin says universities can push 바카라사이트 limits of research fur바카라사이트r than a company, which is why many businesses often outsource 바카라사이트ir research and development to universities.

“We try as much as possible to link our work with industry locally and internationally,” he says.
