The ‘triple helix’ model of university–industry–government interaction is explained and distinguished from the ‘knowledge flows' model. The ‘second academic revolution’ in the USA and the internal transformation of the university are then described and the paper cites MIT as an example of how bilateral relations with industry have led to the rise of entrepreneurial science. Finally the article describes the organizational changes being made at universities to accommodate academia ‘s new role.
