Universities receive increasing pressure from the Research Councils and Higher Education Councils to bring their academic research to market and translate their discoveries into commercial value. We open the debate on the true role of universities in innovation and will discuss the common challenges and misconceptions around technology transfer, translational research and pathways from lab to market. We will also address the issue of whether academics should become more comercially active.
