Abstract:
"Universities can contribute to development in several ways. They can undertake entrepreneurial activities ... get involved with their communities ... conduct industrial R&D; create spin-off firms; participate in capital formation projects, such as technology parks and business incubator facilities; introduce entrepreneurial training and internships into their curricula; and encourage students to take research from the university to firms."
"Universities need to be transformed to play these roles."
~UN Millennium Project, Task Force on Science, Technology, and Innovation
