Driven by European Union policy challenges, this cutting-edge book
focuses upon the Regional Innovation Impact (RII) of universities,
to analyse the socioeconomic impact that universities in Europe
have on their hometowns, metropolitan areas and regions. By
developing a conceptual model of RII, and by applying a
mixed-method 'narrative with numbers' analytical framework, the
case studies presented in this book describe the RII potential and
performance of twenty research-active universities throughout
Europe. The findings and lessons learned are framed within the
context of RII-related policy challenges within the European
Commission, and possible EC funding instruments for incentivising
RII within universities. Key features include an analysis of EU
policy instruments and assessment frameworks for regional
leadership, human capital development and knowledge transfer.
Insightful and original, the lessons provided within this book will
be beneficial to European, national and regional policy makers
interested in approaches to incentivise universities to contribute
more to regional innovation systems. It will also be of interest to
university leaders and administrators who wish to develop
strategies to orient their organisations towards increasing their
RII.
