Hosted by the Lab for Innovation Science and Policy

While there is consensus about the central role that universities play in spurring innovation and entrepreneurship in the modern economy, there is also increasing dialogue that some of the institutional norms that traditionally characterize research universities may be limiting the pace of progress from idea to impact.

This multi-stakeholder webinar convenes pioneers in reshaping research and education to consider the role of universities in innovation ecosystems and how the organizational structures underpinning research funding, education and translational opportunities impact outcomes.
