The Changing Role of Higher Education Institutions
Innovation is an important key to mastering difficult, complex and interrelated societal and economic challenges!

Innovation Ecosystems
Increasing demand triggered an ongoing evolution of innovation processes, creative environments and collaborative methods
Of course innovation ecosystems have been developed inside companies, universities, traditional networks and communities
But even more important trends and interesting issues have come up off the beaten tracks (maker spaces, coworkingspaces, creative labs, crowdfunding, open source, social innovation,…)

Innovation Hubs incorporate functional elements of research labs,
science parks, communities and networks of practice or incubators and accelerators
combine tried and true methods with networking and community-based ideas
embrace fluidity and diversity
focus on impact
encourage serendipity
create a sense of community
intensify collaborative innovation
dynamise the innovation process and enable, rather than force innovation
allow for new combinations of existing knowledge bases that otherwise would not happen
…the opposite of universities´ ivory towers?

Conclusions
enable and support highly motivated individuals instead of trying to force performance through to narrow defined objectives and indicators
enable and support interdisciplinary collaboration across the boundaries of departments and institutes
do not take too many steps at once facilitate interaction of science with society and promote science
communication with a wider public establish a diverse set of collaboration and interaction with the industry act along the institutions’ own vision and strategy instead of reacting to every
upcoming trend or new buzz word learn from the best institutions not only in higher education, but in industry
as well (…and don´t try to copy them!) have a close eye on ideas and concepts to be developed off the beaten
tracks outside or on the brink of common academic ecosystems Think “Out-of-the-Box” and leave the “Ivory Tower”!
