Abstract

Over the past two decades the so-called «third mission» of universities and its regional dimension has been high in the national policy agenda, with a series of incentive mechanisms put in place at national, sub-national and institutional levels. This paper reviews the development of government policies, universities’ institutional strategies and management practices, as observed in the UK regions. We capture the evolving third mission policies that affect the links between universities and their regional agenda on one hand, and the development of institutional strategies and management practices at the university level on the other. Setting incentives for third mission activities encompasses complex processes at the policy, institutional, and individual levels. The paper concludes by identifying three key challenges for university managers and leaders.
