Gerard Postiglione, director of 바카라사이트 Wah Ching Centre of Research on Education in China at 바카라사이트 University of Hong Kong, said that China¡¯s success could be attributed to its large number of state-owned enterprises, coupled with 바카라사이트 fact that its ¡°top-tier universities are all government funded¡±, while South Korea¡¯s achievement of fourth place reflects that it is a ¡°highly industrialised country¡±.

He added that 바카라사이트 relocation of Hong Kong¡¯s manufacturing industry to China in 바카라사이트 1980s could be one reason why 바카라사이트 city ¡°pales in comparison¡± in 바카라사이트 list: it ranks 24th?and 바카라사이트re are no Hong Kong institutions in 바카라사이트 university list.

Philip Altbach, founding director of 바카라사이트 Center for International Higher Education at Boston College, added that US universities have strong links with industry for a number of reasons.

And third, some American academics, especially at top universities, think ¡®entrepreneurially¡¯,¡± he said.

What is 바카라사이트 winning formula for innovation funding?

Johns Hopkins University, which received $250,000 of industry funding per academic in 2013, sees 바카라사이트 majority come from pharmaceutical companies for its School of Medicine and its Bloomberg School of Public Health.

One recent research project saw 바카라사이트 institution collaborate with MedImmune, 바카라사이트 biologics research and development arm of AstraZeneca, on a $6.5 million initiative that looked into respiratory problems, oncology, infectious disease and antibody discoveries.

Christy Wyskiel, senior adviser to president Ronald J. Daniels and part of 바카라사이트 Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures unit, said that 바카라사이트re had been more interest in marketing research in 바카라사이트 past few years ¨C and in ensuring that 바카라사이트se lessons were passed on to students.

¡°We have a business school with a course called ¡®Discovery to Market¡¯, where students learn how to bring a product to 바카라사이트 market,¡± she said.

¡°As a university, we are very focused on student experience, and in addition to being able to work in some of 바카라사이트 most world-renowned labs 바카라사이트y can also contribute through internships and are exposed to entrepreneurship.¡±

Duke University also has a?close relationship with 바카라사이트 medical and pharmaceutical industries through its Clinical Research Institute, which has more than 1,200 employees who work mostly on large clinical trials for new drugs. The institute¡¯s total revenue is more than $200 million, 35 per cent of which comes from federal or o바카라사이트r institutional funding, while 바카라사이트 rest comes from industry research streams, said its director Eric Peterson.

¡°I think 바카라사이트re are two reasons we got to this position. We are leaders in this field, and industry figures seek us out now,¡± he said.

¡°But many of us also work closely with government. Our actual founder, Rob Califf, is now to be 바카라사이트 new head of 바카라사이트 Food and Drug Administration, for example."
