There have been several attempts in recent years to create
conceptual frameworks and models to help universities and policy
makers understand the role and contribution of higher education to
local and regional development. However, these models have failed
to fully reflect or give insufficient attention to the impact of
the regional context (economic, social, political), the policy
environment for higher education and territorial development and
the diversity of management and leadership structures of
universities themselves. This has led to the development of static
models that rarely work outside of the immediate context in which
they were developed and therefore risk leading to design of
policies that are not fit for purpose. This Policy Expo is the
result of work with partners in Europe, South America, Africa, Asia
and Australia to develop a new approach, the ORPHIC Framework, to
think about how the university can be adapted to the specificity of
institutional and local contexts. The book examines: * What are the
different roles that universities play in local and regional
development and how do these manifest themselves? * How can we
learn from comparing practice and experience internationally, and
to what extent are policies aimed at promoting university-region
relationships transferrable? * What are the internal university
factors, such as management and leadership, history, mission,
structures, and the external factors, such as territorial
development policy context, governance system, nature of the
'place', that might help us explain the nature of the relationship?

Entrepreneurial ecosystems involve a complex synergy of factors,
including social and structural changes that are frequently
cumulative within territories, promoting the improvement of
citizens' quality of life and higher development levels. Further,
dynamic territories are characterized by constant change, activity
and progress. Each chapter in this volume examines a specific
entrepreneurial ecosystem in an effort to describe why and how
certain companies and organizations manage to overcome adversities
and achieve strong performance, while others fail. Unlike the
conventional focus, the volume examines microenterprises and Small
and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), while also discussing selected
experiences and case studies from developed and developing
countries alike.

Structural change is an evolutionary process that is often
cumulative within territories, improving the quality of life and
achieving higher development levels. At the same time, smart
cities, education and social innovation are essential to promoting
sustainable development. This book examines regional and
entrepreneurial development as a creative and dynamic concept by
considering the role of these dimensions in promoting a virtuous
cycle for long-term sustainable development.
