This implies taking responsibility, actively and consciously, for the society on whose behalf they are working. The Third Mission at Polis University has two key priorities: Targeted use and transfer of academic knowledge to help resolve diverse societal challenges; Transfer of technologies and innovations in the form of cooperation with public and private enterprises. Third Mission Activities at Polis University In the course of the project \u201cThird Mission of the University\u201d we systematically documented Third Mission activities, which are already being implemented at Polis University (including its Co-Plan Institute, and Metro_Polis Studio, all together under the umbrella of the University), by means of a university-wide online surveys (2023-2024). Based on relevant literature and internal discourses, Polis University assigns third mission activities to the following three dimensions: Social and Societal Transfer Social and Societal Transfer &#8211; refers to the targeted use of scientific knowledge to solve various societal challenges. Knowledge Transfer Knowledge Transfer &#8211; involves the adequate preparation and sharing of scientific knowledge with target groups outside of the university sector (e.g. practitioners, politicians, pupils, etc), and the systematic integration of scientific knowledge into societal discourses. Technology Transfer Technology Transfer &#8211; involves the transfer of knowledge, ideas, technologies, innovations. licenses and patents from the university to economic contexts.
