OECD  High-Level Event on the Knowledge Triangle:
Enhancing the Contributions of Higher Education and Research Institutions to Innovation

Paris, 15-16 September 2016

Events Goals
The  Knowledge  Triangle  approach  in  policy  calls  for  better  integrating  the  education,  research  and  innovation  activities  of  higher  education  institutions  (HEIs) and  public  research  institutions  (P R Is) to  foster  greater  synergies  and  impacts  from  public  investments  in  education  and  research  at  the  local  and  global  levels.  The High Level Event on the Knowledge Triangle  offer s a n  opportunity for  senior government officials and  a wide range of stakeholders to meet and share experience regarding how to better leverage and integrate  the various missions of higher education and public research institutions, based on the initial findings of an  ongoing  OECD  project  on  the knowledge  triangle  carried  out  by  the  OECD  Working  Party  on  Innovation  and Technology Policy and the Committee for Scientific and Technological Policy, in collaboration with the  OECD’s Education and Skills Directorate.  The project aims to  provide  practical  insights  on  the  role  that  education  and  research  funding  policies;  governance  structures;  institutional  leadership  and  stakeholder  involvement  can  play  in  helping  higher  education  and  research  institutions  to  improve their  education,  research and third - mission activities. It  draws on both cross - country statistical analysis of the contribution of  HEIs  to  innovation  and  the  results  of  case  studies  of  HEIs  eco-systems.  The  outcomes  of  the  OECD  High  Level  Event  will  contribute  to  the  development  of  the  policy  recommendations  for  the  final  report of  the  project.
