The University of Limerick is only 20 years old, but from the start it has been an important channel for technology transfer. Transfer is achieved in several ways, but mainly through academic and research programmes. It is assisted by the University's strategy to be relevant to the economic needs of the country; to be European in outlook; and to look to partnerships internationally, especially with the USA and Japan. Setting his comments in the framework of the key objective of the University's programmes – to address the challenges and constraints that face the future development of the national economy – John McGinn shows how the many efforts of the University of Limerick in the field of technology transfer are benefitting the University and its graduates, as well as industry and the growing Irish economy.

Abstract The Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (MLI), which was signed in June 2017, raises a multitude of questions relating not only to the text of the treaty provisions but also to the way the MLI will interact with tax treaties, for instance, and what it will mean for the future development of tax treaty law and international cooperation in tax matters. This article focuses on two aspects of the MLI. First, it deals with the substance of the MLI by providing an overview of its background and content, including the many options available to the contracting states under the MLI. Second, some thoughts are presented on the effects of the MLI in terms of complexity and uncertainty.

AbstractIn these days of exuberant fantasies about the future development of artificial intelligence—mostly written by people who have never in their lives developed an AI program—the GFFT (Society for the Promotion of Technology Transfer) has also unleashed a competition on future AI scenarios to honour Wolfgang Bibel. Because I was allowed to give the laudatory speech for Wolfgang, I was also asked to contribute something to the pen. And because, despite everything else, it is not reprehensible to think about the future, I could not refrain from doing so. Here is my somewhat expanded contribution.

Passed to stimulate innovation and economic growth in 1980, the Bayh–Dole Act caused research universities in the USA to increase their focus on patenting and licensing activities. While Bayh–Dole appears to have led to an escalation in licensing and patenting applications through technology transfer offices, some question the Act's utility and influence with regard to the traditional mission of the university. This paper describes the Act's operation and influence, and analyses its consequences for academia, industry and the mission of research universities.

AbstractThere are several key external challenges to be mastered in the transition from the traditional university towards entrepreneurial university which are transformed into internal challenges. Unlike the business schools the management structures and environment of an university of technology may be often very cautious about implementation of the entrepreneurial elements in the technology and science study and research programmes. Often they have to be confronted by the requirements of students and businesses for more entrepreneurship education and skills in the university graduate profiles to accept this. This paper examines fundamental challenges of implementation of the concept of entrepreneurial university in two European universities of technology with direct central public funding which gradually covers less and less its future development needs. The current status of transformation towards an entrepreneurial university at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava compared to the University of Technology Ilmenau is described, analyzed and the next steps put forward.

With the development of national economy and the improvement of people’s quality of life, the concept of sports rehabilitation has gradually been deeply rooted in the hearts of people, which has brought about the rapid development of sports rehabilitation industry. However, at present, sports rehabilitation industry in China is still in its early stage and there are many problems and contradictions that should be focused on in the process of development .This paper mainly analyzes and discusses the problems arising in the development of the sports rehabilitation industry, and puts forward the reform measures based on the current problems, aiming to provide reference for the future development of the sports rehabilitation industry.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a review of the student managed investment fund at the School of Business, University of Connecticut. Design/methodology/approach The authors trace the history and growth of the fund and identify the special features and dimensions that have contributed to its success. Findings The operation of the fund is a constantly evolving program and the authors discuss the important changes and improvements made in the program since its inception in the early 2000s in response to growth in the number of finance majors, new career opportunities in the field of investments and most importantly, the strength of capital markets and the development of new instruments in the capital markets. The authors also discuss the common features of over 300 student funds in the USA. The authors close with a discussion of the limitations and constraints the fund advisors at, and possibly, at other schools, face in the management and administration of the fund, and also what developments and adjustments the authors expect to see in these funds in the future. Originality/value The authors combine extensive analyses of fund history and performance. The authors also provide some suggestions for the future direction and priorities for student funds.

The need for a reliable supply of engineering talent is accepted globally, but in many parts of the world the many challenges mean that this is not easily achieved. Even if the graduate supply is a reality, often there are concerns about the quality of the engineers entering the workforce. This chapter will explore this landscape, and after identifying the many challenges, explore solutions and potential ideas for the future of engineering education and the university/industry collaboration.

Abstract ObjectiveDifferent governments have adopted different containment strategies for SARS-CoV-2. We compared reports of COVID-19 related deaths between countries with different strategies.DesignPublicly available data on numbers of reported COVID-19 related deaths between January 1st and April 2nd 2020 were compared between countries.ResultsIn countries that implemented strict containment strategies as soon as the virus was firmly established (e.g., Italy and Spain) the epidemic developed similarly to the development in China. Extrapolation suggests the cumulative number of deaths in Italy and Spain to rise to about 22,000 and 41,000, respectively. In South Korea where containment strategies were implemented before the virus arrived, the epidemic developed much slower. In the United States, however, where measures were taken later, the epidemic is developing explosively. Cumulative numbers of deaths in the New York, New Jersey, and Michigan area are forecast to reach about 15,000. Of note, 85% of these deaths are likely to occur within the first 50 days of the epidemic (i.e. before the end of April 2020).ConclusionsAlthough the future development of the epidemic remains difficult to predict accurately, current data suggest the United States will experience an explosive increase in deaths due to COVID-19 before the end of April 2020. Drastic measures are needed immediately to prevent other parts of the country from experiencing a development of this epidemic which is as dramatic as that seen in New York, New Jersey and Michigan.
