UNIVERSITY Relationship Building – Power, Funding and Transparency - Who’s the Authority, Anyway?

The relationships between University and business, philanthropy, government and other funding sources grow increasingly complex as all these entities enter into relationships that are meant to fund knowledge creation. As each party in University relationships has their own goals, what steps need to be taken to build more fruitful bonds? How do the relationships change as the mode of knowledge dissemination leans toward open access models? How is funding negotiated, and how can the integrity of the produced work be maintained? Facilitator: John Wilbanks (Science Commons)
