Student Centrality in University-Industry Interactions

Meer over het boek

The book explores the relationship between universities and private industry, challenging the notion that close interactions undermine universities' core missions. It presents findings from a national survey of tenured scientists, demonstrating that mentoring and collaboration with students can coexist with industry engagement. In fact, these interactions may enhance university-industry relations, as students represent vital scientific and technical human capital essential for addressing the complexities of such collaborations.
