Russia-based university Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) has identified four US and three UK peers in the top 10 academic institutions for creating a local innovation ecosystem.
Skoltech was founded in collaboration with the US-based Massachusetts Institute of Technology and identified it as having had most impact on its local ecosystem.
The other nine, in order, were:
2 Stanford University, US
3 University of Cambridge, UK
4 Imperial College London, UK
5 University of Oxford UK
6 Technion, Israel
7 UC San Diego, US
8 UC Berkeley, US
9 ETH Zurich, Switzerland
10 NUS, Singapore
The review was led by Ruth Graham, an independent consultant in engineering and science education since 2008 and former director of the EnVision project at Imperial College, London, which sought to improve undergraduate education in the faculty of engineering.
The primary data source was one-to-one semi-structured interviews with 61 research experts in university entrepreneurship and those with practical experience in developing successful ecosystems from 20 countries.
The research was commissioned by the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Skoltech (CEI@Skoltech).
