Workshop on “Entrepreneurial University, Engaged Industry and Active Government: Triple Helix Opportunities” during 29-30 May 2014 in Surrey, UK
Prof Panayiotis Ketikidis (President of the THA Chapter of Greece) and Ms Tatjana Taneva (Triple Helix Researcher) participated to the Workshop on “Entrepreneurial University, Engaged Industry and Active Government: Triple Helix Opportunities” during 29-30 May 2014 in Surrey, UK. The aim of the two-day workshop was to provide in-depth discussion of cutting-edge issues related to the Triple Helix model. The aim was to solicit contributions that address the challenges of governance, interaction, co-alignment, facilitation and intermediation in the Triple Helix model of entangled government – industry – university. The focus was set on the role of institutions in the governance and intermediation process and key institutional actors that shape the UK industry-university landscape and facilitate interactions. In particular, challenges faced by the entrepreneurial universities and entrepreneurial governments throughout the process of innovation, knowledge transfer and knowledge commercialisation have been investigated.
Among meeting distinguished academics from this field, Prof Ketikidis and Ms Taneva had the chance to meet Prof Henry Etzkowitz ( President of Triple Helix Association & H-STAR Institute, Stanford University, USA). At the workshop, Prof Ketikidis delivered a presentation on “University Industry Government Interactions in Greece”, while Ms Taneva talked about “Triple Helix – Boosting the Innovation Potential in the Metropolitan Area of Thessaloniki”.
