Slide7EU 2020 Strategy – What Does It Mean?
EU 2020 mutually reinforcing priorities:
Smart growth
Sustainable growth
Inclusive growth
The role of universities
in making this a reality:
Focus on grand challenges
The strong role of universities is crucial: Knowledge Triangle i.e. synergy between research & education & innovation
Modernize the Triple Helix cooperation: University – Industry – Cities
Living labs & user-driven innovations: people & process development

Implementation through 7 Flagships:
Innovation Union
Digital Agenda
The Agenda for New Skills and Jobs
Industrial Policy for the Globalisation Era
…
Slide8EU 2020 Three Mutually Reinforcing Priorities:
Smart growth: developing an economy based on knowledge and innovation. Sustainable growth:
promoting a more resource efficient, greener and more competitive economy.
Inclusive growth: fostering a high-employment economy delivering social and territorial cohesion.
EU Committee of the Regions / Digital Agenda Plenary 5.10.2010:Implementation of the Digital Agenda should include incentives aimed at encouraging local and regional authorities and universities to work together to develop necessary Living Labs concepts.
The EU must adopt a new purposeful approach based on the idea that some regions and cities are pioneers, active researchers, experimenters and decision-makers who develop new solutions for the future for the benefit of all.
EU 2020 Strategy

Slide9Are We Ready to Respond?The Grand Challenges
Slide10EU through Innovation Union:Need to get more innovation from our research,
Better understanding of public sector innovation,European Institute of Innovation and Technology EIT to set out a Strategic Innovation Agenda,European Innovation Partnerships to be launched to accelerate innovation,
…
Need to Integrate Top Research to Practice
Slide11EU 2020 Strategy Challenging Universities Reform & Need for Forerunners
Slide12Paradigm Shift Digital Single Market
Slide13The biggest challenge for EU and Member States is to adopt a much more strategic approach to innovation:Three major weaknesses:Under-investment in our Knowledge Foundation,
Unsatisfactory framework conditions, such as poor access to financing, high costs of IPR, ineffective use of public procurementToo much fragmentation and costly duplicationEurope Needs to Develop Its Distinctive Approach to Innovation:
Focusing on innovations that address the major societal challenges identified in Europe 2020Create added value through European wide integrated investments on innovation
Pursuing a broad concept of innovation Universities are having a key role: Knowledge Triangle
Involving all actors and all regions in the innovation cycle

Slide17European Creativity and Innovation Manifesto 2009
Nurture creativity in a lifelong learning process where theory and practice go hand in hand.
Make schools and universities places where students and teachers engage in creative thinking and learning by doing.
Transform workplaces into learning sites. Promote a strong, independent and diverse cultural sector that can sustain intercultural dialogue.
Promote scientific research to understand the world, improve people’s lives and stimulate innovation.
Promote design processes, thinking and tools, understanding the needs, emotions, aspirations and abilities of users.
Support business innovation that contributes to prosperity and sustainability.

Slide20Why Knowledge Triangle?European higher education institutions should play a central role in the knowledge triangle interactions by creating and disseminating knowledge valuable for society and businesses as well as by linking education, research and innovation through collaboration with the wider community.
The concept of the knowledge triangle relates to the need for improving the impact of investments in the three activities – education, research and innovation by systemic and continuous interaction. Higher education institutions must be given a central role in building a Europe where the impact of knowledge building can be measured in terms of social and economic progress.
The key statements of the Swedish EU Presidency Conference ”Knowledge Triangle Shaping the Future Europe” (organised in Gothenburg Sweden 31 August–2 September 2009)
Slide21EU: The Future Is Based on Knowledge Triangle
Martin Schuurmans
, EIT Chairman “Innovation requires an integrated knowledge triangle”
Actors in the knowledge triangle are at the core of the innovation web;Enhanced capacities + high degree of integration + leadership are prerequisites for scaling up Europe’s innovation performance.

Slide24One of the major aims of
the Aalto Factory Park Concept is to create the necessary infrastructure and working culture to encourage collaboration between
research and education carried out by the university’s departments,
the Aalto Factories, other Aalto units, and
Aalto stakeholders.
Successful implementation of the Knowledge Triangle needs to be based on
conceptualized processes
. Target is mass customization & personalization and at the same time integrate different perspectives throughout the process.
Different learners integrated in the same learning process and different learner groups have different roles and responsibilities:
Working life experts (continuing education students)
Young graduates doing their masters (basic students)
Researchers (post-graduate students)

Slide26ACSI is a meta-level innovation platform that networks researcher and user communities.It builds up a global, self-renewing collaboration network and integrates global societal innovation activities for learning, research and rapid implementation.
ACSI will create an innovative operating mode that incorporates the annual Aalto Camps into university research, teaching as well as global innovation activities throughout the year. The international ACSI community produces innovative solutions meeting the needs of real life cases of society and enterprises.

Innovation EcosystemUniversity Campus 2020
According to the plans, by 2020, there will be new investments of about
4-5
billion euros: metro, tunnel construction of ring road, other infra, housing, office and business buildings, public services, university buildings, sports and cultural facilities…
Slide31The foundation and origin of the cultural growth is the human mind with the
stem of the tree symbolizing lifelong learning
.
Its strong
branches reach out to the three university missions:
research, education and interaction with society
.
