4th Generation University

The 4th Generation University community is an initiative founded by a group of universities and Elsevier, based on the concept developed by researchers of TU Eindhoven. In an era where collaboration and connection are essential for driving innovation and addressing the grand challenges of our time, universities around the globe are stepping up to strengthen their ties within their innovation ecosystems, fostering trustworthy partnerships that deliver meaningful impact in their communities. The 4th Generation University global community envisions universities as orchestrators of regional innovation ecosystems, achieving societal and economic impact through partnerships with industry, government, and civil society. To navigate this transformational journey, there is a growing need for sharing expertise and developing insightful indicators to celebrate the diverse contributions of universities to society. By uniting their efforts via the 4th Generation University community, universities can enhance their strategies and unlock the full potential of education, innovation, and partnership, driving transformative impact on lives and societies.
