Abstract
The case study profiles the Aiku Centre at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice, Italy, suggesting its role as a contemporary higher education institution committed to fulfilling its ‘third mission' and addressing broader societal challenges. The Aiku Centre integrates artistic interventions with academic research and organizational practices, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. Projects like ‘Artificare' and the SMATH initiative exemplify the Centre's approach to combining art, sustainability, and business for societal progress, emphasizing the transformative potential of artistic interventions in environmental and social challenges.
期刊介绍:
Industry and Higher Education focuses on the multifaceted and complex relationships between higher education institutions and business and industry. It looks in detail at the processes and enactments of academia-business cooperation as well as examining the significance of that cooperation in wider contexts, such as regional development, entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems. While emphasizing the practical aspects of academia-business cooperation, IHE also locates practice in theoretical and research contexts, questioning received opinion and developing our understanding of what constitutes truly effective cooperation. Selected key topics Knowledge transfer - processes, mechanisms, successes and failures Research commercialization - from conception to product ''Graduate employability'' - definition, needs and methods Education for entrepreneurship - techniques, measurement and impact The role of the university in economic and social development The third mission and the entrepreneurial university Skills needs and the role of higher education Business-education partnerships for social and economic progress University-industry training and consultancy programmes Innovation networks and their role in furthering university-industry engagement
