This chapter examines State Senator Bill Weber's address at the University of Minnesota Southwest Research and Outreach Center (SWROC) outside Lamberton, Minnesota. The regional development-vested folks — mayors, city managers, extension agents, educators, tourist board representatives, and chamber-of-commerce types — are all focused on a single Herculean challenge: how to bring economic development to the hinterlands. Weber brings a business lens to the conundrum of youth out-migration in southwest Minnesota and eastern South Dakota, and he is predisposed to see the problem as originating in economic opportunity. As an example he points to two long-lived businesses founded in his hometown of Luverne: Luverne Fire Apparatus and Luverne Trucking Equipment. Though they retain Luverne in their titles, both relocated across the border to Brandon, South Dakota, a suburb of Sioux Falls, decades ago, taking several hundred jobs with them.

This article analyzes the evolution of the entrepreneurial university from a narrow focus on capturing the commercializable results of the ‘meandering stream of basic research’ to a broader interest in firm formation and regional economic development. No longer limited to schools like MIT, specialized for that purpose, entrepreneurial aspirations have spread to the academic mainstream. Academic involvement in (1) technology transfer, (2) firm formation and (3) regional development signifies the transition from a research to an entrepreneurial university as the academic ideal. As universities become entrepreneurial, tension arises between this new role and that of teaching and research as it has between research and teaching. Nevertheless, the university coheres as each of these new missions has fed back into and enhanced previous tasks.

Problem and purpose. Assessment of the contribution of universities to the socio-economic development of regions, technological and innovative progress of industry are topical issues of the modern agenda for the modernization of higher education in the Russian Federation. The authors propose a methodology for assessing the contribution of universities to regional development from the standpoint of the ecosystem approach, which makes it possible to reconfigure the development programs of the actors of the regional ecosystem "Education – Science – Industry" in order to achieve the tasks of technological progress and socio-economic development of the region. Research methods. When determining indicators using the ecosystem concept, it was taken into account that the initial components for the work of each actor of the regional ecosystem "Education – Science – Industry" are the results of the activity of one of these components. When using the system theory in determining the groups of indicators, the process, environmental and design components of the regional ecosystem "Education – Science – Industry" were identified. Results. Eight blocks of subsystems of indicators of the university's contribution to regional development have been formed: in integration, investment processes and technological development of the region, innovative development of the region, demographic development of the region, labor market of the region, social development of the region, intellectual potential of the region, infrastructure of the region, economy of the region. The indicators of the efficiency (effectiveness) of the university ("internal" efficiency of the university) and the indicators of the university's contribution to the development of the region are distinguished. The indicators are divided into short-term (allowing to evaluate the university's contribution as the effect of the university's activities, which manifests itself within 1-2 years) and long-term (allowing to evaluate the university's contribution as the effect from the university's activities, which manifests itself in 5-7 years). The indicators are differentiated by groups (priority 1, priority 2, priority 3) taking into account the close relationship between the indicator and the indicator of the university's contribution to regional development. In the conclusion, the possibilities of practical use of the methodology for analyzing the performance of the university in the region and adjusting the programs for the development of universities in the regional ecosystem, including when assessing the effectiveness of the implementation of the Priority 2030 program, are shown.

Abstract:The development of an innovative clinical decision-support project such as the University of Minnesota’s Clinical Workstation initiative mandates the use of modern client-server network architectures. Preexisting conventional laboratory information systems (LIS) cannot be quickly replaced with client-server equivalents because of the cost and relative unavailability of such systems. Thus, embedding strategies that effectively integrate legacy information systems are needed. Our strategy led to the adoption of a multi-layered connection architecture that provides a data feed from our existing LIS to a new network-based relational database management system. By careful design, we maximize the use of open standards in our layered connection structure to provide data, requisition, or event messaging in several formats. Each layer is optimized to provide needed services to existing hospital clients and is well positioned to support future hospital network clients.
