Deans RoundtableTM
“Academia is the engine that drives innovation.” And the deans play very critical roles in higher education institutions’ research and development outputs and the commercialization. To drive innovation sustainably in the academia there is need for initiatives that network knowledge assets, connect partners, broaden scopes, mobilize investment, and emphasize coordination. The Deans Roundtable seeks to be that important innovation catalyst for tertiary institutions through periodic engagements and networking of deans and R&D practitioners and the industry.
