Industry
- Common interests- Mutual understanding of goals- Trust

But it takes time…
to reach the level of interaction required to achive an understanding of each others goals and limitations
to create arenas for interaction at the university level
to create organizational models for joint research programs
to reach the degree of mutual confidence required in roder to work together in a constructive manner
to change from an ivory tower to an integrated part of society
![Page 13: Johan Sterte, UNICREDS 2011-01-18](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568159df550346895dc72ac3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
And it requires interaction and engagement form all parties and at all levels Almost all formal groups (boards, committes, steering groups, reference groups etc.) at the university have relevant external representatives.
The university leadership participates in a large number of regional boards and committes
Research is performed in about 20 research centra involving the university, industry and public interests
We have 45 adjunct professors sharing their time between industry and the university
External parties participate in education. Parts of the education is given outside of the university
A large number of informal meetings take place
Let the outside in and yourself out

Research centers – an excellent way of cooperation
Organizational model for leding edge research through close cooperation between the university and external parties within the private and/or the public sector.
- Tied to a department at the university- Board dominated by external representatives- External chairman of the board- Manager employed by the university- Projects mainly manned by university personnel- Finansing dominated by external funding- All partcipant contribute in cash or kind

Centres -- an excellent way of cooperation
Examples: FASTE-laboratory Lean Wood Engineering, LWE Process IT Innovations Hjalmar Lundbohm Research Centre, HLRC Centre for Risk analysis and Risk management, CRR Centre for Automotive System Technologies and Testing, CASTT Centre for High-strength Steel, CHS Centre for Distance-Spanning Technology, CDT Centre for Distance-Spanning Health-Care, CDH Luleå Railway Research Centre, JVTC Centre for Maintenance and Industrial Services, C-MIS Nordic Wood Centre …

Conclusions- Higher education and research is a prerequisite for regional development – an awareness of this is crucial- In order to utilize the potential of higher education and research for regional development, partnerships between university, public interests, and the regional business world are essential.- The establishment of partnerships requires common goals, a mutual trust and an organizational structure securing influence of all parties- The establishment of partnerships is facilitated by involvement of external persons in the governance, research and education of the university and of university personnel in external interests.
The university is part of the society and the society is part of the university – we are playing in the same team
