This thesis explores the evolving role of universities in knowledge-based societies, emphasizing their transition from secondary to primary institutions. It discusses the integration of universities, government, and industry within the Triple Helix model, highlighting examples of their cooperative interactions in different countries. The "Entrepreneurial University" concept is presented, advocating for non-linear, combinatorial missions that merge research and entrepreneurship. The study also proposes reforms in undergraduate and PhD programs to strengthen these interactions, promote innovation, and create sustainable ecosystems for economic and social development.

Triple Helix Thesis • University plays leading role in Knowledge-based Society: shift from secondary to primary institutional sphere • Taking the role of the other e.g., university forming firms; government as venture capitalist; industry raising training to higher levels • Boundaries as integrative and regulatory structures via Interface Modalities such as Incubators, Technology Transfer Offices (TTO’s) and Science Parks
Statist Triple Helix Government Academia Industry
Statist Triple Helix • Government leads other spheres • E.g. France, China • Government-pulled Triple Helix
State Laissez-faire Triple Helix Industry Academia
Laissez-Faire Triple Helix Separate Spheres • University initiates triple helix interactions • E.g. US fedearl government ideologically precluded from taking the lead except in national emergencies like wartime • Firms expected to be strongly competitive, not cooperative, until recent changes in anti-trust laws opening the way for “open innovation.”

The Entrepreneurial University Second Academic Revolution: entrepreneurship, incubation and firm-formation as third academic mission Entrepreneurial University is non-linear: can be built on a teaching as well as a research university base Entrepreneurial University is combinatorial: entrepreneurship and research integrated (firm and academic lab in one, e.g.4G at PUCRS)

Professors of Practice (PoPs) • Turns traditional PoP model “on its head” from teaching to research • PoP Types: • Forward linear: faculty entrepreneurs moving ½ time to Industry • Reverse linear: Industry entrepreneurs (PhDs) moving ½ time to University • Entrepreneurial role models for students and faculty • Develop large-scale projects, strengthen ties with business, retain faculty entrepreneurs in university Self-sustaining virtuous circle between University and Industry
