The document discusses science and technology parks (STPs), which are organizations that promote innovation and business competitiveness. STPs facilitate knowledge sharing between universities, businesses, and markets. They support startup companies and technology/business skills transfers. STPs provide infrastructure and business services to tenants. Locating near universities and transportation helps STPs collaborate and access talent and markets. The Philippines has established several STPs, including the National Science Complex and U.P. Ayala Land Technohub, through partnerships between government, academia, and industry to promote research and economic development.
Nowadays, Science Parks can be complemented with Science e-Parks that provide crème de la crème knowledge to small as well as to large companies. The Science e-Parks decreases the expenditure for the SME, the large company and the University and at the same time provide access to top quality advice. In the future, it would be possible for EU to require that applicants for EU funding also sign up to a Science e-Park during their participation of their funded projects.

Adrián Pekár: Innovation of Research, Development and Entrepreneurship at Uni...CUBCCE Conference
International experience proves that the existence of science and technology parks brings obvious benefits – they form a platform which brings together education, research and innovation. In response to the current trends, the University Centre for Innovation, Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property Protection (UCITT) of the Technical University of Košice (TUKE) was founded, which is aimed at the creation of a virtual environment at university level that will permanently support research and development in terms of cooperation between scientists and practice, and to ensure efficient transfer of knowledge, products and technologies into society and economy. The presentation is focused on the introduction of the UCITT as well as on its services such as supporting innovations, cooperation with commercial sphere, innovative project activities, start-ups and spin-off companies. Further on, several activities of the UCITT will be also presented by which it creates and supports structures helping to implement innovative solutions and approaches.
2009 - Science parks a real estate development or regional economic value - P...Jacques Van Dinteren
Given the increased importance of knowledge as a production factor in many companies it is not surprising that there is a growing interest in the development of science and technology parks. These parks often have a high quality. The question comes up whether a science park is a real estate concept or an ‘engine’ that stimulates the exchange of information and innovation.
Research results (mainly in the United Kingdom) suggest that for entrepreneurs the importance of proximity to other firms and universities is limited when it comes to strategic knowledge. Being established on a science or technology park can nevertheless be interesting for firms: a stimulating informal circuit can occur and, moreover, the proximity of a university offers possibilities to attract young talent. With regard to attracting people in a labour market that will become more and more stressed in the coming decade, the high quality of the buildings and environment of a science park can be of importance. In that light a science park could be a real estate concept rather than an engine for innovation. If such a high quality development will have success attention has to be paid to, among others, location, market and target group identification, management and customer orientation.
In this paper I will elaborate these ideas and I will present the results of research on two science parks in the Netherlands. Are these parks of importance for the regional economy (linkages, innovation) or are science parks mainly a real estate concept?

Given the increased importance of knowledge as a production factor in many companies it is not surprising that there is a growing interest in the development of science and technology parks. These parks often have a high quality. The question comes up whether a science park is a real estate concept or an ‘engine’ that stimulates the exchange of strategic information and innovation.
On the basis of the results of studies, it may be assumed that there are either no strategic relationships between companies and between companies and the local university/universities at science parks or that such relationships are not very strong Angle, 2003; Capello & Morrison, 2005; Ponds & Van Oort, 2006; Weterings & Ponds, 2007). The added value of a science park is therefore not to be found in this context. Perhaps then we should view a science park primarily as a real estate concept. Not in the narrow sense of the word (property development) but more widely, so that the facilities, etc., are also included in the concept – a development that differs from other commercial sites by its high level of spatial quality, services and facilities.
2019 - The 4th industrial revolution and science parks - Paper for 36th iasp ...Jacques Van Dinteren
During the fourth industrial revolution there could be competition between science parks and innovation districts. The latter seems to be a better answer to changing demand by innovative companies and knowledge workers. However, the science park concept is not static. We think the science park has its own position amidst industrial innovation campuses and innovation districts. But (old, depreciated) science parks need to adjust to the new era. Management of science parks might find inspiration in the characteristics of innovation districts. We propose three considerations that might help science parks to remain competitive:
Consider adding housing (including an impact on service level and reachability);
Consider a shift towards multiple target groups;
Consider to lay more emphasis on community management.
Especially with regard to the first two considerations one has to keep in mind that a science park is not a closed entity. Setting out new strategies also requires a re-orientation of the position and role of science parks in their urban and regional context.
The paper presents an organizational framework and a methodology toolkit that tackles one of the major hurdles of economic development in South East Europe (SEE), the missing link of the innovation triple helix: the valorisation of research performed in the region’s universities and research centres.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. The science and technology park
According to UNESCO and International Association of
Science Parks (IASP) A science park is an organization
managed by specialized professionals, whose main aim is to
increase the wealth of its community by promoting the
culture of innovation and the competitiveness of its
associated businesses and knowledge-based institutions.
To enable these goals to be met, a science park stimulates and manages the flow of knowledge and
technology amongst universities, R&D institutions, companies and markets; it facilitates the creation
and growth of innovation-based companies through incubation and spin-off processes; and provides
other value-added services together with high quality space and facilities. IASP’s definition also goes
on to say that the expression “science park” may be replaced in this definition by the expressions
“technology park”, “technopole” or “research park”.
3. According to the United Kingdom Science Park Association (UKSPA), a science park is a business
support and technology transfer initiative that:
Encourages and supports the start-up and incubation of innovation-led, high-growth, knowledge-
based businesses.
Provides an environment where larger and international businesses can develop specific and
close interactions with a particular center of knowledge creation for their mutual benefit.
Has formal and operational links with centers of knowledge creation such as universities, higher
education institutes and research organizations.
4. The American Association of University Research Parks defines research parks as property-based ventures, yet its
definition is more explicit about a number of features of its parks, and includes the following elements:
They are master planned property and buildings designed primarily for private/public research and development
facilities, high technology and science based companies, and support services.
There is:
A contractual, formal or operational relationship with one or more science/research institutions of higher
education.
A role in promoting the university's research and development through industry partnerships, assisting in the growth
of new ventures and promoting economic development.
A role in aiding the transfer of technology and business skills between university and industry teams.
A role in promoting technology-led economic development for the community or region.
The term "science and technology park" encompasses any kind of high-tech cluster such as: technopolis, science
park, science city, cyber park, hi tech (industrial) park, innovation center, R&D park, university research park,
research and technology park, science and technology park, science city, science town, technology park, technology
incubator, technology park, technopark, technopole and technology business incubator. However, it is worth noting
that there are slight differences between some of these terms. For example, experience suggests that there is
difference between a technology business incubator, science park or research park, science city, technopolis and
regional innovation system.
5. Principle and Practice
A science and technology park refers to a property-based initiative with an
organizational entity, which is established to assist the growth of knowledge-
based firms normally resident on site and knowledge-intensive activities. Its
major objective is to stimulate innovation and generate economic benefits via
assisting knowledge-based firms and knowledge-intensive activities.
A science and technology park supports its tenants by the provision of
property services together with physical infrastructure, services and business
environment.
6. Physical infrastructure.
Physical infrastructure is a very important element for a science and technology
park. Originally, the term "science park" had a very limited definition, focusing on
the real estate aspect of the park concept, in which universities typically leased
real estate, office space or research facilities to businesses.
Sometimes these arrangements are referred to as "industrial estates" or "firm
hotels." The term has evolved to include a much broader range of functions,
research and development, entrepreneurship development, business incubation
and technology transfer. However, the high-tech cluster provides its tenants with
basic infrastructure such as building, electricity, telephone, conference rooms,
laboratory, etc.
It was reported by Sanz (2002) that 15% of high-tech clusters now have a
residential element - a phenomenon that has increased significantly in the last five
years. Often these residences have features specially designed for "knowledge
workers", and can be used as offices as well as homes
7. Education and Research.
It is globally acknowledged that physical proximity between a high-tech
cluster and a university or a research centre improves cooperation between
the two parties. IASP (Sanz, 2002) reported that a significant number (44%) of
high-tech clusters in the world are situated within university campuses or on
land belonging to a university.
The university or research centre presence results in a quality workforce that
is engaged in cross learning via proximity to others with similar interests,
which is critical to any research and development activity.
8. Location can be a significant factor in a high-tech cluster's success. Given the global nature of
business today, another important component of a science park is proximity to transportation
infrastructure, particularly airports and highways.
Public transportation and rail networks can also be important. Saxenian (1994) pointed out that
one cause of decline of attractiveness of Route 128 is traffic jam.
Globally, most high-tech clusters (75%) are situated within cities. Although a significant number
(25%) are located outside cities, those locations are not far from the nearest cities. The non-
urban high-tech clusters usually focus on agro-food and crop technologies.
9. Research and Development.
Seventy six percent of high-tech clusters have research or technology
institutes or centres that mostly deal with applied research and technology
and work in very close co-operation with industry. Tenants acquire new
technologies from their own research or through the work of these
educational and research institutions.
In the second case, the science park facilitates the transfer of technology
from university or research centre to knowledge based companies. Technology
transfer addresses the assessment, adoption and implementation of
technology. Venturing facilitates the 'pull through' of appropriate R&D from
the laboratory to the marketplace by providing practical assistance in
accessing financial resources (seed and venture capital) and expertise in the
preparation of commercially viable business plans.
10. Business incubation
IASP’s survey conducted in 2002 (Sanz, 2002) reported that there is a strong
relationship between high-tech clusters and business incubation. Of the more than
88% of high-tech clusters that have business incubation activities, 23% have at
least one business incubator (BI) with its own management team and 52% have a BI
that they manage themselves. In 13% of the cases, the science park is basically a
big BI that has added some facilities and services to serve the post-incubation
stage.
Only 12% of clusters have no business incubation activity. A business incubator is a
tool designed to accelerate the growth and success of entrepreneurial companies
in a high-tech cluster. It catalyses the process of starting and growing companies
by helping them to survive and grow during the start up period.
The incubator provides entrepreneurs with the expertise, management assistance,
access to financing (venture capital), networks and tools they need to make their
ventures successful. It also offers entrepreneurial firms shared office services,
access to equipment, flexible leases and expandable space all under one roof. A
business incubator's main goal is to produce successful firms that will leave the
program financially viable and free standing, usually in two to three years.
11. Environment.
A science and technology park is a combination of R&D, knowledge-based
economic activities and pleasant surroundings. The ambience of a technology
park might include picturesque scenes of mountains, beaches or gardens and
stimulating cultural activities in the surrounding area that entertain a well
educated workforce.
Environment quality is an important element that can improve the image of a
science and technology park. According to the study conducted by IASP (Sanz,
2002), the size of designated green areas (all areas destined for trees,
vegetation, garden, etc.) varied from 20 to 49 ha for the smaller clusters to
60 to100 ha for the big clusters.
12. The Science and Technology Park in the
Philippines
The National Science Complex and Technology Incubation Park is created through an Executive Order No.

13. U.P. Ayala Land Technohub
Found in Quezon City, about 15 kilometers north of Makati City, UP-Ayala Land
Technohub is at the center of a thriving campus development with all the
support facilities and amenities required by technological and scientific firms.
Developed in collaboration with the country’s premier academic institution,
the University of the Philippines, our innovative low-density complex is PEZA-
registered and ideal for Business Process Outsourcing firms, with our office
spaces offered for rent.
A pioneering collaboration between industry and the academe, the Technohub
is envisioned as an integrated community of science-and- technology
companies creating a dynamic learning and entrepreneurial laboratory at the
very home of young and brilliant minds. Beside our office buildings is a 3-
hectare central park with a man-made lagoon, retail areas, campus
apartments and a business hotel. A Tech Portal and Retail Plaza are also
centrally located within the Technohub.
14.
15. PEZA said it has initially tapped the Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges
(PASUC) and the University of the Philippines to provide pilot areas – mostly idle lands – within
their campuses that can be developed as model KIST parks.
Given the schools’ steady supply of talents, quality of educational infrastructure, and strong
scientific-technological culture, PEZA hopes to add more value to the country’s higher education
institutions through the KIST parks.
In a recent consultation meeting with PASUC and UP, PEZA director general Charito Plaza said
she has challenged the schools’ top executives to venture into ecozone development to be able
to attract scientists and venture capitalists into innovation and technology as well as to promote
the establishment of more knowledge process outsourcing hubs and research and development
centers.
