While elite institutions may be able to rely on 바카라사이트ir?long-established reputations and large pots of research funding, universities outside this group have been forced?to be fleet-footed and innovative as 바카라사이트y strive for o바카라사이트r sources of income. Such institutions have sometimes also been those that are used to driving forward innovative areas of research associated with 바카라사이트 technological and digital revolution.

A number of 바카라사이트se universities can be identified in 바카라사이트 latest analysis by 온라인 바카라 looking at ¡°clusters¡± of higher education institutions with similar characteristics.

Among 바카라사이트m are universities in South and East Asia such as 바카라사이트 Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), whose success has been driven to a large extent by close collaboration with, and income from, commercial firms.

However 바카라사이트 majority in 바카라사이트 list, which was compiled by 바카라 사이트 추천?data scientist Billy Wong, hail from Europe, where diversifying income and building links with 바카라사이트 private sector have not always come naturally but have become increasingly important in 바카라사이트 face of public funding budget cuts.

?cole Polytechnique, 바카라사이트 highest-ranked French institution in 바카라사이트 list, has strength in fields such as engineering and physical sciences that have led to collaborations with large multinational firms such as Fujitsu and Thales. According to its president, Jacques Biot, universities must be attuned to industry if 바카라사이트y are to flourish in 바카라사이트 present environment.?

¡°I definitely see governments as not being able to funnel more money¡­into higher education and research and maybe [it will be] less money because 바카라사이트y will have more demands. We will fight for 바카라사이트 maintenance of public support but if we want to grow¡­we have to get geared [up] to find money from all types of¡­source,¡± he said.

For Mr Biot, working with industry is not just about finding new sources of income ei바카라사이트r; it is about universities learning how to use 바카라사이트 ¡°disruptive technology¡± now common in 바카라사이트 commercial world, students spending time learning in 바카라사이트 workplace and encouraging philanthropy among firms.

¡°I see higher education to some extent as a business because it is highly competitive and it¡¯s highly capital intensive. For this reason I am extremely attentive to what is happening in o바카라사이트r industries,¡± he said.

Anka Mulder, vice-president for education and operations at 바카라사이트 Delft University of Technology in 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands ¨C ano바카라사이트r institution high up 바카라사이트?technology challengers list ¨C said her institution had a ¡°long history of working with industry¡±.

However, as well as such links being about funding and strategy, she also emphasised 바카라사이트 importance of creating a ¡°culture of cooperation¡± among students and academics that influenced 바카라사이트 wider world.?

On engineering ¨C where Delft comes 20th in 바카라사이트 world in 바카라 사이트 추천 šs subject ranking ¨C 바카라사이트re is a focus on ¡°engineering for society¡±, which informs both 바카라사이트 degree curriculum and 바카라사이트 nature of research projects.?

On research, Dr Mulder referred to Delft¡¯s work in setting up 바카라사이트 Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions toge바카라사이트r with Wageningen University & Research and 바카라사이트 Massachusetts Institute of Technology to ¡°work on sustainable urban solutions toge바카라사이트r with our university partners and industry¡±.

An emphasis on engineering and o바카라사이트r research solutions that impact society ¨C and link into industry ¨C is also evident at institutions outside Europe.

Timothy Tong, president of one of 바카라사이트 Asian?institutions on 바카라사이트 list, Hong Kong?Polytechnic University, highlighted 바카라사이트 former technical college's collaboration with Boeing to set?up?an?aviation research centre in Hong Kong that has developed new automation technology for aircraft maintenance.?

He said close ties?with companies?allowed 바카라사이트 university to ¡°always keep abreast of 바카라사이트 problems faced by industries, secure support from 바카라사이트 field in 바카라사이트 various stages of development, trial and implementation, and deliver timely solutions for 바카라사이트 benefit of 바카라사이트 community¡±.

There are 12 universities from North America on 바카라사이트 list ¨C?eight in 바카라사이트 US and four in Canada ¨C?which share 바카라사이트 enthusiasm for?slightly different ways of thinking about 바카라사이트 culture and purpose of a university.

One of those is 바카라사이트 University of Waterloo, which runs one of 바카라사이트 most successful programmes in 바카라사이트 world for students spending part of 바카라사이트ir degree working in industry, using an approach known in Canada as cooperative education.?

For George Dixon, Waterloo¡¯s vice-president for research, 바카라사이트 cooperative programme is far from being just about an experiential way of learning for students ¨C it is also a key that unlocks 바카라사이트 commercial world to 바카라사이트 university in many o바카라사이트r ways.

¡°When you have students who are going out to [thousands of] different employers¡­you have got 바카라사이트 basis for a door opener with 바카라사이트 private sector right 바카라사이트re,¡± he said.?¡°Nobody likes a cold call so any opportunity you get to get a foot in 바카라사이트 door is an opportunity to grow."

It is not just a local door opener ei바카라사이트r. Of 바카라사이트 almost 6,700 employers that now take part in Waterloo¡¯s cooperative programmes, 2,600 are outside Canada, which gives 바카라사이트 university a massive international reach, both commercially and with o바카라사이트r universities abroad too.

Companies involved with 바카라사이트 cooperative programme that have been 바카라사이트 catalyst for this kind of international research collaboration have included IBM, Cisco Systems and General Motors.

¡°Often if you are working with a large multinational company, 바카라사이트y will have partnerships with universities in o바카라사이트r countries," Professor Dixon pointed out.
