Learning spaces as accelerators of innovation ecosystem development 2013Kari Mikkelä
This article examines learning spaces as a broad concept, addressing them both as an abstraction and as venues and facilities supporting learning on individual, organisational and regional levels. Our two simultaneous perspectives are top-down (Europe 2020 strategy) and bottom-up (learning and innovativeness of individuals). As an abstract
concept, learning space refers especially to the mental dimension of the space emerging
when individual experts collaborate. It draws from the culture of modernising the Triple
Helix collaboration coloring the learning environment, and the quality of interaction between the classroom and industry agents, either hindering or supporting better synergy between research, education and innovation, as well as different initiatives focusing on creativity and entrepreneurial discovery.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

What do we mean by the 'civic university'? Why is it important?
1. What do we mean by the “civic university”?
Why is it important?
John Goddard OBE
Emeritus Professor of Regional Development Studies
Formerly Deputy Vice Chancellor
2. Why the ‘Civic University’? (1)
• The on-going economic crisis is putting European governments under
enormous pressure to respond to the challenges of public and private debt
at the same time as global competition is intensifying.
• Local communities and taxpayers facing difficult economic situations are
questioning the ‘value’ of universities, especially where the benefits may
appear less obvious, e.g. in regions with high unemployment.
• Public funding for higher education is under scrutiny, compelling universities
to demonstrate their value, and direct contribution and benefit to society
and the economy.
3. Why the ‘Civic University’? (2)
• In response, universities are rethinking their role and responsibilities, and
engaging in learning beyond the campus walls; in discovery which is useful
beyond the academic community; and service that directly benefits the
public.
• Higher education policy makers are also having to come out of their silos
within national governments and work with other agencies with specific,
direct and sometimes conflicting expectations of what universities are for
(e.g. contributions to: innovation, skills, the arts, cities and regions)
• All of this requires institutional transformation within universities and
dialogue between different parts of national governments and parts of the
EC
• The ‘Civic University’ as a model to capture the mutually beneficial
engagement between the community, region or wider world and the
university.
4. What are universities for ?
• “We treat our opportunities to do research not as a public trust but
as a reward for success in past studies”
• “Rewards for research are deeply tied up with the production of
academic hierarchy and the relative standing of institutions” BUT
• “Public support for universities is based on the effort to educate
citizens in general, to share knowledge, to distribute it as widely as
possible in accord with publically articulated purposes”
Calhoun (2006) “The university and the public good”
What does this mean for the leadership and management of
universities seeking to mobilise the work of the academy for
public benefit?
5. Current business models of the university
• The entrepreneurial university model with a strengthened steering
core, enhanced development periphery, a diversified funding base
and stimulated academic heartland (Burton Clark 1998)
• The triple helix model of universities, business and government with
semi-autonomous centres that interface with the external
environment supported by specialist internal units (e.g technology
transfer offices) and external intermediaries (e.g technology and
innovation centres) (Etzkowitz et. al . 2000)
• Each of these models underplays the role of the arts and
humanities, place based communities and civil society. This
requires a new model of the civic university
• This matters because the way innovation takes place is
changing
6. TEACHING RESEARCH
The traditional university
‘THIRD MISSION’
ACTIVITIES
Funding targets

MANAGEMENT
AND LEADERSHIP
THE ‘CORE’
THE ‘PERIPHERY’
Hard Boundary between enabling

7. No boundary spanners
Focus on supply side, transactional

Ineffective or non existent
partnership
Lack of a shared understanding
about the challenges
Entrepreneurs ‘locked out’ of
regional planning
The neglected regional dimension
PUBLIC SECTOR
Lack of coherence between national
and regional/local policies
Lack of political leadership
Lack of a shared voice and vision at
the regional/local level
PRIVATE SECTOR
No coordination or representative
voice with which to engage
Motivated by narrow self interest
and short term goals
Dominated by firms with low
demand or absorptive capacity
for innovation
HIGHER EDUCATION SECTOR
Seen as ‘in’ the region but
not ‘of’ the region
Policies and practices
discourage engagement
Focus on rewards for
academic research and
teaching
9. Generating intellectual and
human capital assets for the
region
HIGHER EDUCATION SECTOR
Developing coherent policies
that link territorial
development to innovation and
higher education
PUBLIC SECTOR
Investing in people and
ideas that will create growth
PRIVATE SECTOR
Evidence based
policies that
support ‘smart’
innovation
and growth
The triple helix ‘connected’ region

12. The quadruple helix
• “Quadruple Helix (QH), with its emphasis on broad cooperation in
innovation, represents a shift towards systemic, open and user-centric
innovation policy. An era of linear, top-down, expert driven development,
production and services is giving way to different forms and levels of
coproduction with consumers, customers and citizens.” (Arnkil, et al, 2010)
• “The shift towards social innovation also implies that the dynamics of ICT-
innovation has changed. Innovation has shifted downstream and is
becoming increasingly distributed; new stakeholder groups are joining the
party, and combinatorial innovation is becoming an important source for
rapid growth and commercial success. Continuous learning, exploration, co-
creation, experimentation, collaborative demand articulation, and user
contexts are becoming critical sources of knowledge for all actors in R&D &
Innovation” (ISTAG 2010)
14. What does this mean for universities? Towards a European
Network of Civic Universities
• International co-learning project with on Leading and Managing the Civic
University:
• University College London and Newcastle (UK)
• Amsterdam & Groningen (Netherlands)
• Aalto (Helsinki) & Tampere (Finland)
• Trinity College Dublin & Dublin Institute of Technology (Ireland)
• Testing a conceptual model through baseline data collection, online survey
of academic staff, senior management workshops and collective roundtable
• Findings to be published in an academic book hopefully to supersede
Burton Clark’s Leading and Managing the Entrepreneurial University:
Organisational pathways to institutional transformation which underpins the
triple helix model of university/business and government
• Contributing to a dialogue around future models of European
Universities and what they are for
