  5. Contours 3rd Generation University • The basis is a good deal of fundamental research • Research is mainly transdisciplinary research carried out in Institutes, managed by academics • In research, education and commercialisation of know-how there is considerable cooperation with industry (technology-based enterprises, production firms, start-ups). The 3 GU is an open university: via know how carousel and including an academic hospital • International competition for students, academics and corporate research contracts • Two-tier university: mass university with special arrangements for the best and brightest (staff and students) Wissema Consulting Ltd

Central role for the Design Faculty • Cosmopolitan university with English as lingua franca • Know-how exploitation becomes the third objective with a range of specific instruments including a 4th member of the Board of Management. Know how exploitation or service to society will be integrated with research and education • Disentangled from the state: End of direct government contribution • Fundamental research from state grants/donations • Applied research from industrial and state grants • Education via market mechanism, students pay full fees and get support from state or other grant Wissema Consulting Ltd
