Based on 16 articles contributing to the Special Issue from various perspectives, the Special Issue editors have developed an overarching framework about the relationships between higher education and innovation ecosystems. In the framework, we re-define the concept of innovation ecosystem and identify emerging roles of universities in developing sustainable innovation ecosystems. Re-conceptualization of innovation ecosystems In the editorial of the Special Issue, innovation ecosystem is defined as: co-innovation networks in which actors from organizations concerned with the functions of knowledge production, wealth creation, and norm control interact with each other in forming co-evolution and interdependent relations (both direct or indirect) in cross-geographical contexts and through which new ideas and approaches from various internal and external sources are integrated into a platform to generate shared values for the sustainable transformation of society. Compared with most commonly cited definitions of innovation ecosystem, our definition highlights three new aspects of interactions in co-innovation networks: cross-sectoral, transnational, and indirect, drawing insights from the literature including innovation, geography, and biology studies. The roles of universities in innovation ecosystems The emerging roles of universities in innovation ecosystems are as follows: (1) The role of universities is changing from being a central player in technology transfer to being an anchor in knowledge exchange; (2) universities are assuming a new role in trust-building between actors in innovation ecosystems; and (3) universities are not merely an entrepreneurial universities but are also institutional entrepreneur in the innovation ecosystem. The three emerging roles all indicate that universities are becoming the catalysts for sustainable development in innovation ecosystems. Knowledge exchange is crucial for sustainability; trust is the foundation of the sustainable networks; social entrepreneurship is indispensable for sustainable social change. Evidence in wider contexts A total of 44 authors from 10 countries contributed to the discussions on the changing roles of higher education in innovation ecosystems from varying perspectives. They also report transformations within higher education and universities? responses to both external and internal transformations. When addressing these issues, the studies provide both theoretical and methodological contributions to the research on higher education in innovation ecosystems. The 16 articles can be generally placed into four categories: (1) new demands for universities arising from the transformation in society toward innovation ecosystems, (2) transformations within higher education responding to emerging societal demands, (3) dynamics of the interaction of university with other innovation actors in a transnational context, and (4) academic and student mobility for higher education innovation. Calling for a new research agenda While societal changes demand broader roles of universities, they also call for and leads to substantial changes within the internal fabric of the university. The innovations in both society and the universities necessitate a renewed understanding of higher education in society, which has become a new research agenda in studies on innovation in higher education. We hope our Special Issue will inspire and encourage more scholars to join the research field. 606 $aHumanities$2bicssc 606 $aEducation$2bicssc 610 $atransnational industry cooperation 610 $atransnational university cooperation 610 $atransnational innovation ecosystem 610 $aEU?China 610 $ascience, technology and innovation cooperation 610 $atransdisciplinary approach 610 $aartificial intelligence 610 $amachine learning 610 $aHigher Education 610 $aUniversity 610 $aEntrepreneurial competences 610 $aEmployability 610 $aTheory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) 610 $aOpen Innovation 610 $abusiness creation 610 $atechnology transfer 610 $ainnovation 610 $ainnovation ecosystem 610 $aentrepreneurship education 610 $ascience and technology 610 $asustainability 610 $ahigher education 610 $aeducational innovation 610 $aMexico 610 $aacademic mobility 610 $aknowledge transfer 610 $ahigher education innovation 610 $ainstitutional environment 610 $apostgraduate education 610 $aeducation level 610 $adiscipline background 610 $agraduation institution 610 $aR& 610 $aD investment 610 $atriple helix 610 $asynergy mechanism 610 $anational system of innovation 610 $aChina 610 $aBelt and Road Initiative 610 $adevelopmental model of intercultural sensitivity 610 $ageneral model of instructional communication 610 $ainstructional beliefs model 610 $aintercultural communication competence model 610 $agreen GDP 610 $aenvironment 610 $asustainable development 610 $aglobal innovation systems 610 $aChinese research university 610 $afaculty income 610 $aacademic labor market 610 $aordinary labor market 610 $ajoint R& 610 $aD institute 610 $ainstitutional logics 610 $aChina?s innovation system 610 $aChina?s transnational Triple Helix linkages 610 $aproblem-solving 610 $acritical reflection 610 $aknowledge integration 610 $asocial learning 610 $asystemic thinking 610 $aentrepreneurial university 610 $aentrepreneurship 610 $ainfluencing factors 610 $asustainable universities 610 $acorporate sustainability 610 $atensions 610 $aintegrative framework 610 $aFinnish universities 610 $ahigher education system 610 $asocial entrepreneurship 610 $aentrepreneurial universities 610 $abusiness model innovation 610 $asocialist economies 610 $aCuba 610 $aknowledge brokers 610 $aknowledge intensive policies 610 $asmart specialisation 610 $ainnovation ecosystems 610 $aglobal talent 610 $asocial integration 610 $aeconomic integration 610 $aChinese student 610 $aFinland 610 $auniversity 610 $athird mission 610 $aknowledge-based society 610 $aglobal innovation networks 615 7$aHumanities 615 7$aEducation 700 $aCai$b Yuzhuo$4edt$01314866 702 $aMa$b Jinyuan$4edt 702 $aChen$b Qiongqiong$4edt 702 $aCai$b Yuzhuo$4oth 702 $aMa$b Jinyuan$4oth 702 $aChen$b Qiongqiong$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557595203321 996 $aHigher Education in Innovation Ecosystems$93032067 997 $aUNINA
