Universities and Business: Partnering for the Knowledge SocietyLuc Weber, Duderstadt J. J. (ed) Brookings Institution Press, 2006 - 297 páginas The Fifth Glion Colloquium, held in June 2005 in Switzerland, concerned the key relationship between research universities and the business sector. Participants included university leaders from Europe and the United States, along with senior officers of several global corporations. Part I sets the stage by considering the role of universities, business and government in meeting the needs of society. Part II discusses the changing nature of knowledge transfer from the campus to industry. Part III presents the European perspective on university-business relationships. Part IV describes the American experience. Part V is focused on the increasing concerns about human capital, particularly in key areas of science and engineering. Finally, Part VI includes the dinner speech given by the CEO and President of Nestle, and a concluding chapter in which the editors succinctly pull together the themes of all the papers and discussions.
