Industry and Higher Education

Aims & Scope

Industry and Higher Education focuses on the multifaceted and complex relationships between higher education institutions and business and industry.

It looks in detail at the processes and enactments of academia-business cooperation as well as examining the significance of that cooperation in wider contexts, such as regional development, entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems.

While emphasizing the practical aspects of academia-business cooperation, IHE also locates practice in theoretical and research contexts, questioning received opinion and developing our understanding of what constitutes truly effective cooperation.
