Building a 4GU from the ground up

What if a university didn’t have to unlearn a century of habits to become an innovation ecosystem orchestrator — because it built that way from day one? This webinar looks at institutions doing exactly that: embedding 4GU thinking into their DNA before they’ve earned the traditional markers of a university at all — PhD programmes, publication records, decades of accreditation.

With perspectives from new institutions being built with ecosystem orchestration as a founding principle to a university young enough to have started as a 4GU, we’ll discuss discuss what it takes to embed 4GU values at conception: how to build industry and regional partnerships without an established research base to lean on, what “impact” means before you have a tenure track to prove it, and whether starting from scratch is an advantage or just a different set of constraints.
