By developing a conceptual model of RII, and by applying a mixed-method 'narrative with numbers' analytical framework, the case studies presented in this book describe the RII potential and performance of twenty research-active universities throughout Europe. The findings and lessons learned are framed within the context of RII-related policy challenges within the European Commission, and possible EC funding instruments for incentivising RII within universities. Key features include an analysis of EU policy instruments and assessment frameworks for regional leadership, human capital development and knowledge transfer. Insightful and original, the lessons provided within this book will be beneficial to European, national and regional policy makers interested in approaches to incentivise universities to contribute more to regional innovation systems. It will also be of interest to university leaders and administrators who wish to develop strategies to orient their organisations towards increasing their RII"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEconomic development$xEffect of education on 607 $aEuropean Union countries$2fast 610 $aUniversity 610 $aImpact 610 $aInnovation 610 $aAssessment 610 $aEurope 610 $aRegional Innovation Impact 610 $aSmart Specialisation 615 0$aEconomic development$xEffect of education on. 676 $a338.9 700 $aTijssen$b Robert$0103157 702 $aEdwards$b John 702 $aJonkers$b Koen 712 02$aEdward Elgar Publishing, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557281403321 996 $aRegional innovation impact of universities$92824228 997 $aUNINA
