In a knowledge-based economy, universities are vital institutions.
This volume explores the roles that universities can play in
peripheral regions, contributing to processes of regional economic
development and innovative growth. Including a series of case
studies drawn from Portugal, Norway, Finland, the Czech Republic,
Estonia and the Dutch-German border region, this will be the first
book to offer a comprehensive comparative overview of universities
in European economically peripheral regions. These studies seek to
explore the tensions that arise in peripheral regions where there
may not be obvious matches between university activities and
regional strengths. Aimed at academics, policy-makers and
practitioners working on regional innovation strategies, this
volume brings a much-needed sense of realism and ambition for all
those concerned with building successful regional societies at the
periphery of the knowledge economy.
