University—Industry—Government Partnerships for Innovation

Le résumé fourni par la source

The Clinton Administration's Technology Reinvestment Project (TRP) 1994–97 introduced new partnering paradigms to foster dual-use (commercial and military) research and development of new technologies, new commercially viable products and new manufacturing processes (including spin-off and spin-on applications). The TRP at Northeastern University enabled the formation of the Consortium for Electromagnetics Research Applications (CEMRA) which seeded eight partnerships. Each partnership involved one or more university researchers with one or more industrial counterparts, as ‘fellows’ or ‘partners’. Each partnership is a variation on the dual-use theme. The CEMRA partnerships are best-practice models for industry–university collaboration. CEMRA is an interesting application of the Triple Helix innovation model. The partnerships constitute dynamic infrastructures with interactive feedback loops between university and industry researchers and managers. The Triple Helix model is also exemplified in a more general sense by the Technology Reinvestment Project as a whole.
