Putting missions in their place: micro-missions and the role of universities in delivering challenge-led innovation
基于一手经验和实证证据,提出微观使命概念,强调大学作为安全召集空间,在地方挑战驱动创新中超越传统三重螺旋角色,不仅关注科技与经济成果。
We draw on first-hand experience and empirical evidence to address current concerns that the mission approach carries too much emphasis on technological innovation and top-down state-led action. We identify the concept of smaller scale ‘micro-missions’ that address place-based challenges. In so doing, we show a role for universities that extends beyond the entrepreneurial triple helix and demonstrate how a mission approach can be effective beyond an emphasis exclusively on science and technology and economic outcomes. We highlight universities as safe, convening spaces and their role in bringing together local actors in designing and delivering a micro-missions approach.
