Tiivistelmä
Higher education institutions play a pivotal role in the well-being of their regions by creating and transferring new knowledge to their students and regions, thereby increasing both students “and regions” capacity to absorb latest knowledge and foster innovation. To optimise both educational and RDI impacts, the Knowledge Triangle (KT) is important. It is about creating and strengthening the interaction and synergy between research, education and innovation and paying due attention to the linkages between them. The KT, however, requires changes in the design and delivery of education programmes. It also calls for new mechanisms and interfaces for collaboration among various regional stakeholders. Learning by Developing (LbD) together with the LivingLabs (LL) model exemplify these changes and mechanisms in practice. The article explores LbD and LL as a university.
