Benefits of participating in the Project "Third Mission"
The Third Mission is intended to be a shared agenda of all organizational units and as many university members as possible. Thus, it becomes an element of Polis University public profile. Active participation may include a variety of different aims and priorities, depending on the focus of the organizational units or individuals, such as:
- extended networking with societal actors and third-party funders;
- extended cooperation with public and private enterprises;
- establishment of new and transdisciplinary research projects in direct response to economic and social needs;
- integration of socially-relevant topics in research and teaching (service learning);
- better preparing students for taking over responsible tasks in politics, society and economy;
- extending the professional skill profile of the workforce;
- increasing the society’s appreciation of science and research at Polis University.
Criteria for Third Mission activities
Third Mission activities at Polis University:
- are based on one’s own research,
- are relevant to society and/or the economy, in the targeted territory
- promote networking (primarily with societal and/or economic actors; but also between activities; and also internationally),
- and should be future-oriented and geared towards (or at least consider) sustainability.
