Optimising Income Generation in Higher Education and Research Institutions

Public funding for universities and research institutions is decreasing. At the
same time, competition between universities is increasing and they become
more commercially orientated. Higher education and research institutions are
required to prove that their research has an impact outside their institution
and that it is of interest for industry. Both the institution’s research status and
reputation is increasingly dependent on research commercialisation. Therefore,
it is even more important to ensure its success in order to attract students,
researchers, private companies and external partners – who in turn contribute
to the institution’s overall income generation themselves again. Furthermore,
universities, faculties and institutes act in their own interest when increasing
knowledge and technology income as they assure a high quality of their research
and raise their own budgets.
