“…With the participation of 78 cities, the project concluded that citizen wellbeing is highly influenced by connectivity, information about the city's resources and the need for better mobility. Moreover, various initiatives have studied and developed the transformation of university campuses into smart living laboratories, through which different projects could potentially be scaled up to solve the Pain Points of a city [20][21][22][23]. Even though these works provide insight into the operation, organization, technological infrastructure, and methods used, only few studies provide some information on how they could use the Smart Campus concept as a learning mechanism for students [22,24,25].…”

This work presents the Campus City initiative followed by the Challenge Living Lab platform to promote research, innovation, and entrepreneurship with the intention to create urban infrastructure and creative talent (human resources) that solves different community, industrial and government Pain Points within a Smart City ecosystem. The main contribution of this work is to present a working model and the open innovation ecosystem used in Tecnologico de Monterrey that could be used as both, a learning mechanism as well as a base model for scaling it up into a Smart Campus and Smart City. Moreover, this work presents the Smart Energy challenge as an example of a pedagogic opportunity for the development of competencies. This included the pedagogic design of the challenge, the methodology followed by the students and the results. Finally, a discussion on the findings and learnings of the model and challenge implementation. Results showed that Campus City initiative and the Challenge Living Lab allows the identification of highly relevant and meaningful challenges while providing a pedagogic framework in which students are highly motivated, engaged, and prepared to tackle different problems that involve government, community, industry, and academia.

“…The University of Monastir (Tunisia) has an initiative oriented on circular economy and sustainable waste management in the campus area. Benltoufa et al [73] reported different projects that are conducted such as valorization of waste, public art, development of environmental-friendly products and of solar heating systems made from used soda cans. They emphasize that testing ideas in the framework of a smart campus is a useful step before moving to the smart city scale.…”

Smart Campuses: Extensive Review of the Last Decade of Research and Current Challenges

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Novel intelligent systems to assist the energy transition and improve sustainability and people's life can be deployed at different scales, ranging from a house to an entire region. University campuses are an interesting intermediate size (big enough to matter and small enough to be tractable) for research, development, test and training on the integration of smartness at all levels, which led to the emergence of the concept of "smart campus" over the last few years. This review article proposes an extensive analysis of the scientific literature on smart campuses from the last decade (2010-2020). The 182 selected publications are distributed into seven categories of smartness: smart building, smart environment, smart mobility, smart living, smart people, smart governance and smart data. The main open questions and challenges regarding smart campuses are presented at the end of the review and deal with sustainability and energy transition, acceptability and ethics, learning models, open data policies and interoperability. The present work was carried out within the framework of the Energy Network of the Regional Leaders Summit (RLS-Energy) as part of its multilateral research efforts on smart regions.

“…Although the usefulness of STPs is still subject to debate, the creation of STPs has been adopted in Europe [7,9,41,70,79,80,[85][86][87][88] and North America [1], and STPs are widely emulated in the former Eastern bloc countries [11,89,90], as well as the centralized economies of China [2,55,91], Taiwan [92,93], Malaysia [53] and others in Asia; the creation of STPs is also seen as a pathway for economic development in developing nations [8,[94][95][96] as well as being subject to international comparisons [4,34,38,47].…”

A Systematic Literature Review of Partnership Development at the University–Industry–Government Nexus

The increasingly entrepreneurial intent of universities implies the commercialization of knowledge and innovation through the triple helix of interactions between universities, industry and government. However, there remains a lack of clarity concerning best practice partnerships for innovation. This systematic literature review (SLR) provides insights onto the development of partnerships at the university–industry–government nexus and builds on the existing top-down/bottom-up approach for the creation of intermediaries of innovation. The SLR describes the evolution of these intermediaries, which is driven both by criteria set by partners and the globalization of the knowledge economy. This SLR reveals that the partnership structure most likely to further economic and broader societal goals is the living lab with the inherent focus on open innovation and co-creation. This SLR reveals that the living lab structure (and including sustainability labs and urban living labs) is the partnership structure utilized for innovation that addresses economic, social and environmental goals. Two areas are recommended for further research. One concerns the development of a deeper understanding of the relationship between the evolution in the structures of partnerships for innovation and how it is influenced by the globalization of the economy, society and environment, and changing modes of knowledge production. The other is to better understand why the living lab approach to partnership creation is best suited to the delivery of sustainable development objectives and how this learning can be applied to other models of partnership development at the university–industry–government nexus.
