== Overview ==

[https://www.uts.edu.au The University of Technology Sydney] (UTS) was founded in 1988 and is located in Sydney's tech precinct in NSW, Australia. A modern focus and a drive for innovation has enabled UTS to quickly climb global rankings. UTS jumped almost 200 places in the Times Higher Education rankings over the last seven years (2012-2019) and remains the number one young university (under 50) in Australia. UTS is known as a world leader in transdiciplinary approaches and sustainable futures thinking, with over 45,000 students and almost 4,000 staff. An industry focus with modern courses and state-of-the-art equipment has enabled its degrees and students continue to become more respected worldwide. UTS has shown a passion to continue this movement through its 1 Billion dollar investment to fundamentally change the way that teaching, learning and research is delivered.

=== UTS Values ===

In collaboration with the launch of Vision 2027, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Innovation and Enterprise - Professor Glenn Wightwick was appointed to support innovation and connection throughout the university with a focus on entrepreneurship and external engagement. Professor Wightwick oversees the [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/working-uts Corporate Relations Centre], [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/entrepreneurship Innovation and Entrepreneurship] portfolio and [http://2ser.com/ 2SER] radio/podcast platform.

== Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

=== Degrees and Programs ===

As a key component of Vision 2027 student innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) is seen as critical to the success of students and the university with over 90 distinct subjects that engage with I&E principles. UTS recognizes eight academic pathways where students can interact with innovation and entrepreneurship as follows:

These pathways are supported by a wider culture of innovation that encourages students to convert creativity in entrepreneurial endeavors. The following UTS StartNet map explores how entrepreneurial programs and culture are found across several faculties in the university.

[[File:Startnet graphic.png]]

=== Academic Pathways - learning.futures ===

Academically, students at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels can engage with a host of subjects, majors, content and degree pathways. Innovative programs such as the [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/entrepreneurship/courses-subjects-degrees/postgraduate-degrees MBAe] – Masters of Business Administration in Entrepreneurship; [https://www.uts.edu.au/node/275526 Honours in Entrepreneurship]; and [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/entrepreneurship/courses-subjects-degrees/bachelor-degrees Bachelor of Creative Intelligence] all encourage students to explore transdisciplinary approaches to I&E.

Students engage in UTS’ unique model of learning - [https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/learning-and-teaching/uts-model-learning/what-students-learn the learning.futures] strategy which promotes practice-oriented education for a global workforce through research-inspired and integrated learning.

Students can also access online and open source courses including [https://open.uts.edu.au/entrepreneurship.html ‘Introduction to Entrepreneurship’] and [https://open.uts.edu.au/designingoutproblems.html ‘Designing Out Problems’]. One third of UTS students will receive formal innovation and entrepreneurship training in their coursework alongside specific entrepreneurship support. UTS fosters I&E across the nine university faculties and through a variety of unique centres/institutes as highlighted below.

=== Cultural Pathways - Fostering entrepreneurship ===

Beyond the academic pathways, UTS fosters a culture of creativity through the UTS Innovation & Entrepreneurship Unit. This unit seeks to bridge research and entrepreneurship through a strong focus on research commercialization. The unit sits physically next to the business school and offers startup spaces to support hatchling entrepreneurs. The I&E unit supports with [https://www.uts.edu.au/startup-internships internships]; short courses and [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/entrepreneurship/programs-and-opportunities/uts-entrepreneurship toolkits] (including ‘Design Thinking for Researchers’ and open access courses); [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/entrepreneurship/programs-and-opportunities/entrepreneurialentrepreneurial student societies] and industry connection opportunities ([https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/entrepreneurship/programs-and-opportunities/hackathons hackathons], workshops, camps and mentorship).

The core of the unit is [https://www.uts.edu.au/uts-startups UTS Startups], an incubator focused on mentoring and supporting students and recent alumni with startups. UTS Startups is open to students from all faculties and degree types, but most students come from Engineering and IT as well as Business. This is supported by recent research which found that 44% of UTS undergraduate students (2018) believe that they are likely or very likely to join a start-up and 34% state that they are likely or very likely to start a business.The following chart highlights the growing culture of embedding entrepreneurship culture within universities in Australia in an effort to support budding entrepreneurship in their innovative ideas. There are over 160 incubators, accelerators and pre-accelerators in Australia, however these remain expensive and therefore UTS seeks to promote a culture of entrepreneurship by embedding such thinking in coursework and existing degree programs alongside the startup community.

== Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

As a component of the 2027 Vision, UTS is committed to supporting staff with research and learning with a goal of seamless, personalized and relevant education. While staff are also encouraged to engage with industry partners and through innovative research there are fewer resources for startups and entrepreneurship for faculty. Where students (undergraduate and postgraduate) own their own Intellectual Property (IP) from research projects, IP generated by faculty members belongs to the university.

UTS Startups allows faculty to participate if one member of the team is a student. This limits opportunities for external innovation. However, there is a significant focus on encouraging innovation in the classroom environment and through industry partnerships. Opportunities to enhance learner experience (LX) and support academics in the transition to digital learning platforms such as the [https://futures.uts.edu.au/events/ LX.lab], [https://lx.uts.edu.au/futures/ futures blog] and online support platforms. These resources are designed to help academics build knowledge and confidence within the learning.futures mandate. Successful industry partnerships are well recognized across the university and celebrated through technology transfer, and licensing opportunities.

== Actively Supporting the Technology Transfer ==

UTS supports technology transfer in two distinct pathways: students and projects/faculty. Students are encouraged to commercialize research through UTS Startups for work produced independently. Project work by faculty members and researchers is promoted for technology transfer to industry through Intellectual Property (IP) licensing or collaborative agreements in health, data science, sustainability, social futures, and future work and industry. Not all transfers have been technology based and many are the support of policy or advocacy work to the public sector and civil society.

<br/>UTS belongs to the [https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/industry-partnerships/ip-and-commercialisation/overview#ip-principles Australian Technology Network of Universities (ATN)]and is guided by ATN principles of IP which seek transparent, flexible and user-friendly systems that encourage a range of IP models. These principles actively encourage research that can be commercialized by industry, government and community groups through publicly available policies and templates. The ATN promotes leadership by industry partners throughout the process of technology transfer. For IP with significant commercial value and a clear route to market UTS directly seeks to form a startup with relevant stakeholders or to find potential licensees. However for other IP, UTS promotes ‘Easy Access IP’ which supports the licensing of research with a single page agreement.

<br/>Successful commercialization and information transfer ideas from UTS include:

[http://www.mrcf.com.au/company/view/auspherix Auspherix]- an innovative pharmaceutical company to explore drugs to treat antibiotic resistant infections

== Facilitating University - Industry Collaboration ==

=== UTS CareerHub and Internships - Showcasing Innovation ===

UTS CareerHub helps to link graduating students to industry through ongoing recruitment and an annual [https://studentshowcase.uts.edu.au/ student showcase] across facilities and degrees. The showcase seeks to highlight creative and innovative skill sets of students at UTS for future industry engagements and often coming from the Design and Transdisciplinary Innovation disciplines at UTS. Workforce development is a key priority of industry and UTS seeks to develop well-rounded, creative and critical thinkers that are ready for industry.

=== Industry Research - Connecting Innovation ===

Embedded in UTS’ 2027 vision, the university is seeking to research “exemplified by excellence, impact, engagement with global partners, and innovative collaborations that transcend disciplinary and professional boundaries.” The research aims to have economic, cultural, and social impact through mult- and trans-disciplinary approaches leveraging and sustaining partnerships with business, government and civil society. Connected research can occur in three ways:

*Contract research for strategic research expertise
*Collaborative research partnerships
*Consulting services through accessUTS

Collaborative projects such as [https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/our-research/institute-sustainable-futures/news/innovative-future-sydney the Innovative Future of Sydney Trains Customer Service] are celebrated through the annual UTS Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Research Excellence through Collaboration or Partnership Award. UTS has partnerships with small and medium enterprises, large multinational companies, local, state, federal and international government agencies, non-governmental organizations and charities.

=== Industry Shaping - University Societies ===

UTS’s union ‘ACTIVATE’ facilities over 130 [https://activateuts.com.au/clubs Student Societies] from all faculties of the university. Many societies focus on connecting students to Industry by running events, hackathons, panels, networking evenings and site tours.

These student-led events, facilitated and sponsored by the university provide an alternate method to build Industry contacts to further pursue their career. The following societies are highly involved with Industry:

BCII Connect

Biomedical Engineering Society

Business Society

Enactus

Engineering Society

HIVE Society

Women in Business

=== Industry Shaping - Design Studios ===

The university aims to encourage a number of students to be exposed to a number of projects that are generally implemented in an industry setting. In particular, the UTS Faculty of Engineering and IT (FEIT) incorporate mandatory subjects in their course that encourages students to participate in team projects. This is where they have the opportunity to utilise the theoretical skills they have learned in their technical subjects and apply it to real-world projects.

The following subjects provide some examples of FEIT offers to its students that enables students to work collaboratively in a team:

=== Industry Shaping - Hackathons and Case Study Sprints ===

UTS is very proactive in organising design sprints for students. These design based innovation events are mentored by industry professionals, sponsored by corporate companies and offer cash and investment prizes for students to develop their ‘end product or system’ designed during the hackathon.

These hackathons not only stimulate innovation in the students, it develops and grows innovation in the Industries that the hackathon is partnered with.

The following is a list of selected Industry based Hackathons run at UTS in the last 2 months that cross university disciplines.

== Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts ==

UTS’s strategic location supports the engagement with local and regional economic efforts within the precinct (Pyrmont and Ultimo), city of Sydney, region of NSW and beyond. While the university does not have a specific economic development office, the precinct-focus in UTS’ Vision 2027 speaks to the desire for local economic development. The university engages with the Greater Sydney Commission, precinct task forces, community groups, and the City of Sydney to connect with ongoing development work both for economic and philanthropic purposes. Beyond UTS’ engagement in entrepreneurship, technology transfer and industry collaboration in the economic development arena, such development has physical, and virtual aspects.

=== Virtual Spaces ===

Leveraging the learning.futures approach of education, UTS has a strong movement towards virtual learning and collaboration spaces. This opens opportunities for local and regional collaboration through [https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/industry-partnerships/podcasts podcasts] and [https://open.uts.edu.au/index.html open source courses].

=== Physical Spaces ===

Physical spaces in UTS function as catalysts for innovation and entrepreneurship and are supported by over 1 billion dollars of recent infrastructure investment. Vision2027 envisions the UTS campus and facilities as spaces for public and community engagement as highlighted in the following four strategic outcomes:

*Build Australia’s first [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/indigenous-residential-college Indigenous Residential College] to support Indigenous student participation and success in higher education.
*Expand innovation spaces such as [https://www.uts.edu.au/about/faculty-engineering-and-information-technology/protospace ProtoSpace], [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/data-arena/overview Data Arena], [https://www.uts.edu.au/about/faculty-engineering-and-information-technology/tech-lab Tech Lab] to be more accessible to industry partners, civil society and government.
*Develop co-working spaces in the tech precinct and UTS facilities in Botany and Western Sydney.
*Design local engagements across Sydney that support lifelong learning.

Opportunities to enhance learner experience (LX) and support academics in the transition to digital learning platforms such as the [https://futures.uts.edu.au/events/ LX.lab], [https://lx.uts.edu.au/futures/ futures blog] and online support platforms. These resources are designed to help academics build knowledge and confidence within the learning.futures mandate. Successful industry partnerships are well recognized across the university and celebrated through technology transfer, and licensing opportunities.

== Actively Supporting the Technology Transfer ==

UTS supports technology transfer in two distinct pathways: students and projects/faculty. Students are encouraged to commercialize research through UTS Startups for work produced independently. Project work by faculty members and researchers is promoted for technology transfer to industry through Intellectual Property (IP) licensing or collaborative agreements in health, data science, sustainability, social futures, and future work and industry. Not all transfers have been technology based and many are the support of policy or advocacy work to the public sector and civil society.

<br/>UTS belongs to the [https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/industry-partnerships/ip-and-commercialisation/overview#ip-principles Australian Technology Network of Universities (ATN)]and is guided by ATN principles of IP which seek transparent, flexible and user-friendly systems that encourage a range of IP models. These principles actively encourage research that can be commercialized by industry, government and community groups through publicly available policies and templates. The ATN promotes leadership by industry partners throughout the process of technology transfer. For IP with significant commercial value and a clear route to market UTS directly seeks to form a startup with relevant stakeholders or to find potential licensees. However for other IP, UTS promotes ‘Easy Access IP’ which supports the licensing of research with a single page agreement.

<br/>Successful commercialization and information transfer ideas from UTS include:

== Facilitating University - Industry Collaboration ==

=== UTS CareerHub and Internships - Showcasing Innovation ===

UTS CareerHub helps to link graduating students to industry through ongoing recruitment and an annual [https://studentshowcase.uts.edu.au/ student showcase] across facilities and degrees. The showcase seeks to highlight creative and innovative skill sets of students at UTS for future industry engagements and often coming from the Design and Transdisciplinary Innovation disciplines at UTS. Workforce development is a key priority of industry and UTS seeks to develop well-rounded, creative and critical thinkers that are ready for industry.

=== Industry Research - Connecting Innovation ===

Embedded in UTS’ 2027 vision, the university is seeking to research “exemplified by excellence, impact, engagement with global partners, and innovative collaborations that transcend disciplinary and professional boundaries.” The research aims to have economic, cultural, and social impact through mult- and trans-disciplinary approaches leveraging and sustaining partnerships with business, government and civil society. Connected research can occur in three ways:

*Contract research for strategic research expertise
*Collaborative research partnerships
*Consulting services through accessUTS

Collaborative projects such as [https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/our-research/institute-sustainable-futures/news/innovative-future-sydney the Innovative Future of Sydney Trains Customer Service] are celebrated through the annual UTS Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Research Excellence through Collaboration or Partnership Award. UTS has partnerships with small and medium enterprises, large multinational companies, local, state, federal and international government agencies, non-governmental organizations and charities.

=== Industry Shaping - University Societies ===

UTS’s union ‘ACTIVATE’ facilities over 130 [https://activateuts.com.au/clubs Student Societies] from all faculties of the university. Many societies focus on connecting students to Industry by running events, hackathons, panels, networking evenings and site tours.

These student-led events, facilitated and sponsored by the university provide an alternate method to build Industry contacts to further pursue their career. The following societies are highly involved with Industry:

BCII Connect

Biomedical Engineering Society

Business Society

Enactus

Engineering Society

HIVE Society

Women in Business

=== Industry Shaping - Design Studios ===

The university aims to encourage a number of students to be exposed to a number of projects that are generally implemented in an industry setting. In particular, the UTS Faculty of Engineering and IT (FEIT) incorporate mandatory subjects in their course that encourages students to participate in team projects. This is where they have the opportunity to utilise the theoretical skills they have learned in their technical subjects and apply it to real-world projects.

The following subjects provide some examples of FEIT offers to its students that enables students to work collaboratively in a team:

=== Industry Shaping - Hackathons and Case Study Sprints ===

UTS is very proactive in organising design sprints for students. These design based innovation events are mentored by industry professionals, sponsored by corporate companies and offer cash and investment prizes for students to develop their ‘end product or system’ designed during the hackathon.

These hackathons not only stimulate innovation in the students, it develops and grows innovation in the Industries that the hackathon is partnered with.

The following is a list of selected Industry based Hackathons run at UTS in the last 2 months that cross university disciplines.

== Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts ==

UTS’s strategic location supports the engagement with local and regional economic efforts within the precinct (Pyrmont and Ultimo), city of Sydney, region of NSW and beyond. While the university does not have a specific economic development office, the precinct-focus in UTS’ Vision 2027 speaks to the desire for local economic development. The university engages with the Greater Sydney Commission, precinct task forces, community groups, and the City of Sydney to connect with ongoing development work both for economic and philanthropic purposes. Beyond UTS’ engagement in entrepreneurship, technology transfer and industry collaboration in the economic development arena, such development has physical, and virtual aspects.

=== Virtual Spaces ===

Leveraging the learning.futures approach of education, UTS has a strong movement towards virtual learning and collaboration spaces. This opens opportunities for local and regional collaboration through [https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/industry-partnerships/podcasts podcasts] and [https://open.uts.edu.au/index.html open source courses].

=== Physical Spaces ===

Physical spaces in UTS function as catalysts for innovation and entrepreneurship and are supported by over 1 billion dollars of recent infrastructure investment. Vision2027 envisions the UTS campus and facilities as spaces for public and community engagement as highlighted in the following four strategic outcomes:

*Build Australia’s first [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/indigenous-residential-college Indigenous Residential College] to support Indigenous student participation and success in higher education.
*Expand innovation spaces such as [https://www.uts.edu.au/about/faculty-engineering-and-information-technology/protospace ProtoSpace], [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/data-arena/overview Data Arena], [https://www.uts.edu.au/about/faculty-engineering-and-information-technology/tech-lab Tech Lab] to be more accessible to industry partners, civil society and government.
*Develop co-working spaces in the tech precinct and UTS facilities in Botany and Western Sydney.
*Design local engagements across Sydney that support lifelong learning.

[[File:UTS Cover.jpg|center|University of Technology Sydney - Faculty of Engineering and IT]]

== Overview ==

[https://www.uts.edu.au The University of Technology Sydney] (UTS) was founded in 1988 and is located in Sydney's tech precinct in NSW, Australia. A modern focus and a drive for innovation has enabled UTS to quickly climb global rankings. UTS jumped almost 200 places in the Times Higher Education rankings over the last seven years (2012-2019) and remains the number one young university (under 50) in Australia. UTS is known as a world leader in transdiciplinary approaches and sustainable futures thinking, with over 45,000 students and almost 4,000 staff. An industry focus with modern courses and state-of-the-art equipment has enabled its degrees and students continue to become more respected worldwide. UTS has shown a passion to continue this movement through its 1 Billion dollar investment to fundamentally change the way that teaching, learning and research is delivered.

=== UTS Values ===

UTS is led by five distinct values that shape the vision and strategy of the university:

'''Discover''' and share new knowledge and new ways to lead through teaching, research, intellectual debate and use of technology.

'''Engage''' and collaborate with students, alumni, partners, professions and communities locally and internationally.

'''Empower''' staff and students to grow, challenge and make a difference.

'''Deliver''' obligations to staff, students, partners and communities while maintaining high standards and ethical behaviour.

'''Sustain''' local and global environment, organisational health and the ability to create a positive and viable future.

=== Vision 2027 ===

Launched in 2017, [https://www.uts.edu.au/about/uts-2027-strategy UTS’ Vision 2027] seeks to catalyze a spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship with the university The goals encourage collaboration and creativity in social justice and accessibility; responsible leadership; and excellence in indigenous higher education and research. Students are encouraged to be flexible and resilient through critical thinking, access to impactful learning and transdisciplinary thinking. Students, staff, professionals and partners are connected in through innovation to deliver excellent research with impact through eight university-wide goals.

Lifetime learning Personal learning experience Digital partners New ways of working Precinct, community, partnerships Connected research International profile Social change

In collaboration with the launch of Vision 2027, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Innovation and Enterprise - Professor Glenn Wightwick was appointed to support innovation and connection throughout the university with a focus on entrepreneurship and external engagement. Professor Wightwick oversees the [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/working-uts Corporate Relations Centre], [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/entrepreneurship Innovation and Entrepreneurship] portfolio and [http://2ser.com/ 2SER] radio/podcast platform.

== Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

=== Degrees and Programs ===

As a key component of Vision 2027 student innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) is seen as critical to the success of students and the university with over 90 distinct subjects that engage with I&E principles. UTS recognizes eight academic pathways where students can interact with innovation and entrepreneurship as follows:

These pathways are supported by a wider culture of innovation that encourages students to convert creativity in entrepreneurial endeavors. The following UTS StartNet map explores how entrepreneurial programs and culture are found across several faculties in the university.

[[File:Startnet graphic.png]]

=== Academic Pathways - learning.futures ===

Academically, students at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels can engage with a host of subjects, majors, content and degree pathways. Innovative programs such as the [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/entrepreneurship/courses-subjects-degrees/postgraduate-degrees MBAe] – Masters of Business Administration in Entrepreneurship; [https://www.uts.edu.au/node/275526 Honours in Entrepreneurship]; and [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/entrepreneurship/courses-subjects-degrees/bachelor-degrees Bachelor of Creative Intelligence] all encourage students to explore transdisciplinary approaches to I&E.

Students engage in UTS’ unique model of learning - [https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/learning-and-teaching/uts-model-learning/what-students-learn the learning.futures] strategy which promotes practice-oriented education for a global workforce through research-inspired and integrated learning.

Students can also access online and open source courses including [https://open.uts.edu.au/entrepreneurship.html ‘Introduction to Entrepreneurship’] and [https://open.uts.edu.au/designingoutproblems.html ‘Designing Out Problems’]. One third of UTS students will receive formal innovation and entrepreneurship training in their coursework alongside specific entrepreneurship support. UTS fosters I&E across the nine university faculties and through a variety of unique centres/institutes as highlighted below.

[https://www.uts.edu.au/node/248346 Connected Intelligence Centre]

=== Cultural Pathways - Fostering entrepreneurship ===

Beyond the academic pathways, UTS fosters a culture of creativity through the UTS Innovation & Entrepreneurship Unit. This unit seeks to bridge research and entrepreneurship through a strong focus on research commercialization. The unit sits physically next to the business school and offers startup spaces to support hatchling entrepreneurs. The I&E unit supports with [https://www.uts.edu.au/startup-internships internships]; short courses and [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/entrepreneurship/programs-and-opportunities/uts-entrepreneurship toolkits] (including ‘Design Thinking for Researchers’ and open access courses); [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/entrepreneurship/programs-and-opportunities/entrepreneurialentrepreneurial student societies] and industry connection opportunities ([https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/entrepreneurship/programs-and-opportunities/hackathons hackathons], workshops, camps and mentorship).

The core of the unit is [https://www.uts.edu.au/uts-startups UTS Startups], an incubator focused on mentoring and supporting students and recent alumni with startups. UTS Startups is open to students from all faculties and degree types, but most students come from Engineering and IT as well as Business. This is supported by recent research which found that 44% of UTS undergraduate students (2018) believe that they are likely or very likely to join a start-up and 34% state that they are likely or very likely to start a business.The following chart highlights the growing culture of embedding entrepreneurship culture within universities in Australia in an effort to support budding entrepreneurship in their innovative ideas. There are over 160 incubators, accelerators and pre-accelerators in Australia, however these remain expensive and therefore UTS seeks to promote a culture of entrepreneurship by embedding such thinking in coursework and existing degree programs alongside the startup community.

== Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

As a component of the 2027 Vision, UTS is committed to supporting staff with research and learning with a goal of seamless, personalized and relevant education. While staff are also encouraged to engage with industry partners and through innovative research there are fewer resources for startups and entrepreneurship for faculty. Where students (undergraduate and postgraduate) own their own Intellectual Property (IP) from research projects, IP generated by faculty members belongs to the university.

UTS Startups allows faculty to participate if one member of the team is a student. This limits opportunities for external innovation. However, there is a significant focus on encouraging innovation in the classroom environment and through industry partnerships. Opportunities to enhance learner experience (LX) and support academics in the transition to digital learning platforms such as the [https://futures.uts.edu.au/events/ LX.lab], [https://lx.uts.edu.au/futures/ futures blog] and online support platforms. These resources are designed to help academics build knowledge and confidence within the learning.futures mandate. Successful industry partnerships are well recognized across the university and celebrated through technology transfer, and licensing opportunities.

== Actively Supporting the Technology Transfer ==

UTS supports technology transfer in two distinct pathways: students and projects/faculty. Students are encouraged to commercialize research through UTS Startups for work produced independently. Project work by faculty members and researchers is promoted for technology transfer to industry through Intellectual Property (IP) licensing or collaborative agreements in health, data science, sustainability, social futures, and future work and industry. Not all transfers have been technology based and many are the support of policy or advocacy work to the public sector and civil society.

<br/>UTS belongs to the [https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/industry-partnerships/ip-and-commercialisation/overview#ip-principles Australian Technology Network of Universities (ATN)]and is guided by ATN principles of IP which seek transparent, flexible and user-friendly systems that encourage a range of IP models. These principles actively encourage research that can be commercialized by industry, government and community groups through publicly available policies and templates. The ATN promotes leadership by industry partners throughout the process of technology transfer. For IP with significant commercial value and a clear route to market UTS directly seeks to form a startup with relevant stakeholders or to find potential licensees. However for other IP, UTS promotes ‘Easy Access IP’ which supports the licensing of research with a single page agreement.

<br/>Successful commercialization and information transfer ideas from UTS include:

[http://www.mrcf.com.au/company/view/auspherix Auspherix]- an innovative pharmaceutical company to explore drugs to treat antibiotic resistant infections

[https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/industry-partnerships/ip-and-commercialisation/uts-ip-portfolio/health-12 Helmedix] - a helminth-based approach to treat autoimmune diseases

== Facilitating University - Industry Collaboration ==

=== UTS CareerHub and Internships - Showcasing Innovation ===

UTS CareerHub helps to link graduating students to industry through ongoing recruitment and an annual [https://studentshowcase.uts.edu.au/ student showcase] across facilities and degrees. The showcase seeks to highlight creative and innovative skill sets of students at UTS for future industry engagements and often coming from the Design and Transdisciplinary Innovation disciplines at UTS. Workforce development is a key priority of industry and UTS seeks to develop well-rounded, creative and critical thinkers that are ready for industry.

=== Industry Research - Connecting Innovation ===

Embedded in UTS’ 2027 vision, the university is seeking to research “exemplified by excellence, impact, engagement with global partners, and innovative collaborations that transcend disciplinary and professional boundaries.” The research aims to have economic, cultural, and social impact through mult- and trans-disciplinary approaches leveraging and sustaining partnerships with business, government and civil society. Connected research can occur in three ways:

*Contract research for strategic research expertise
*Collaborative research partnerships
*Consulting services through accessUTS

Collaborative projects such as [https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/our-research/institute-sustainable-futures/news/innovative-future-sydney the Innovative Future of Sydney Trains Customer Service] are celebrated through the annual UTS Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Research Excellence through Collaboration or Partnership Award. UTS has partnerships with small and medium enterprises, large multinational companies, local, state, federal and international government agencies, non-governmental organizations and charities.

=== Industry Shaping - University Societies ===

UTS’s union ‘ACTIVATE’ facilities over 130 [https://activateuts.com.au/clubs Student Societies] from all faculties of the university. Many societies focus on connecting students to Industry by running events, hackathons, panels, networking evenings and site tours.

These student-led events, facilitated and sponsored by the university provide an alternate method to build Industry contacts to further pursue their career. The following societies are highly involved with Industry:

BCII Connect

Biomedical Engineering Society

Business Society

Enactus

The university aims to encourage a number of students to be exposed to a number of projects that are generally implemented in an industry setting. In particular, the UTS Faculty of Engineering and IT (FEIT) incorporate mandatory subjects in their course that encourages students to participate in team projects. This is where they have the opportunity to utilise the theoretical skills they have learned in their technical subjects and apply it to real-world projects.

The following subjects provide some examples of FEIT offers to its students that enables students to work collaboratively in a team:

== Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts ==

UTS’s strategic location supports the engagement with local and regional economic efforts within the precinct (Pyrmont and Ultimo), city of Sydney, region of NSW and beyond. While the university does not have a specific economic development office, the precinct-focus in UTS’ Vision 2027 speaks to the desire for local economic development. The university engages with the Greater Sydney Commission, precinct task forces, community groups, and the City of Sydney to connect with ongoing development work both for economic and philanthropic purposes. Beyond UTS’ engagement in entrepreneurship, technology transfer and industry collaboration in the economic development arena, such development has physical, and virtual aspects.

=== Virtual Spaces ===

Leveraging the learning.futures approach of education, UTS has a strong movement towards virtual learning and collaboration spaces. This opens opportunities for local and regional collaboration through [https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/industry-partnerships/podcasts podcasts] and [https://open.uts.edu.au/index.html open source courses].

=== Physical Spaces ===

Physical spaces in UTS function as catalysts for innovation and entrepreneurship and are supported by over 1 billion dollars of recent infrastructure investment. Vision2027 envisions the UTS campus and facilities as spaces for public and community engagement as highlighted in the following four strategic outcomes:

*Build Australia’s first [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/indigenous-residential-college Indigenous Residential College] to support Indigenous student participation and success in higher education.
*Expand innovation spaces such as [https://www.uts.edu.au/about/faculty-engineering-and-information-technology/protospace ProtoSpace], [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/data-arena/overview Data Arena], [https://www.uts.edu.au/about/faculty-engineering-and-information-technology/tech-lab Tech Lab] to be more accessible to industry partners, civil society and government.

UTS has shown a passion to continue this movement through it's 1 Billion dollar investment to fundamentally change the way that teaching, learning and research is delivered.</p>
== Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

=== Degree Programs ===
<p style="text-align: justify;">UTS offers a range of subjects both for undergraduate and postgraduate students that explores the foundations of innovation and entrepreneurship. These subjects are designed in a way that students from a vast range of faculties gain access to the various  forms of ‘design thinking’ based subjects. The University takes conscious measures to ensure students have access to the highly demanding I&E mindsets that the wider society urges for. These faculties include:</p>

*Faculty of Transdisciplinary Innovation
*Design, Architecture and Building
*Arts and Social Sciences
*Institute for Sustinable Futures
*Science
*Law
<p style="text-align: justify;">More information can be found [https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/entrepreneurship/courses-subjects-degrees/entrepreneurial here].</p>
=== Entrepreneurship Culture ===
<p style="text-align: justify;">UTS is located in Ultimo which is one of the most heavily populated Start-Up areas in Australia. Leveraging this, It has become one of the most innovative and entrepreneurial campuses in Australia. There are various programs implemented by UTS to encourage student entrepreneurship including:</p>
*UTS Startups, which is an incubator aimed at mentoring and providing support for any student or recent alumni interested in developing a startup
*Awards like UTS Startup peoples choice, venture day and many others are aimed at providing extra funding to standout startups
*Student Run Innovation and Entrepreneurial Societies on Campus e.g. Enactus & BCII Connect
*Hackathons & Competitions including Project Pitch, Code2Learn, The Hult Prize and 3P Competition, designed to launch competitive businesses
<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Each of these programs are trans-disciplinary, with no limitations or restrictions to certain faculties, degree types or year levels. The culmination of each of these has enabled UTS to become an active player in the Australian Start-Up Community. Helping to grow and support the culture, values and organisations within the Australian start-up ecosystem.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Over the past three years, UTS has also introduced Bachelor and Postgraduate degrees that directly target the core fundamentals of high-level critical and creative thinking, invention, complexity, innovation, future scenario building and entrepreneurship; leading-edge capabilities that are highly valued in the globalised world. A direct industry demand has contributed to the successful implementation of such a vast and diversified portfolio that allows students to combine their core degree (e.g. Business, Engineering) with an innovational based degree.</p>

== Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==
<p style="text-align: justify;">UTS is denoted as the number 1 Young University in Australia. This title comes from the conscientious commitment the university employs in adopting innovation and improving the quality of education and educational experience for both its students and its wider faculty and staff. UTS strives for innovation and entrepreneurship and this is seen through the movement in the faculty itself.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">UTS has its own Entrepreneurship and Innovation faculty, that constantly seeks for ways to encourage entrepreneurial mindsets.</p>
'''Faculty of Transdisciplinary Innovation (FTDi)'''
<p style="text-align: justify;">Over the years, UTS has gradually implemented a range of course work within subjects focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship to help students gain an in-depth understanding of these concepts. UTS has also implemented faculty targets to ensure that this momentum continues across all levels of the internal organisation. The univeristy has a dedicated department working on fostering trans-diciplinary innovation. The faculty runs courses such as:</p>
*Bachelor of Creative Intellegence & Innovation (BCII)
*Bachelor of Technology & Innovation (BTI)
*Masters of Data Science & Innovation
*Masters of Business Adminstration in Entrepreneurship, and many others
<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">These courses are designed to equip students with the diverse skills necessary to thrive in a future full of unknowns. In these courses, students are placed into high pressure situations with limited time frames and diverse teams where they are forced to experiment and learn from their mistakes. This leaves academics to take on the role of mentor as students are encouraged to not only develop creative solutions, but also to interpret the brief itself in interesting and differnet ways.</p>
== Opportunities at UTS ==

The freshly introduced Bachelor of Technology and Innovation degree launched in 2017 was a result of high industry demand. UTS is constantly coupling up with their partners to host innovation and enter centered.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">UTS has its own on-campus start-up incubator, a founding partnership with Sydney School of Entrepreneurship, through which individuals have the opportunity to get in touch and communicate with other like minded individuals as well as kickstart their startup ambitions. UTS also effectively collaborates with industry partnership to contribute to the wider growth of its students. This year UTS has introduced an internship program with its partners EnergyLab, Fishburners and Microsoft to offer 20 students internships in the startup sector, to essentially give these proactive individuals an insight into the startup environment and help them form those entrepreneurial and innovative mindsets in a more practical setting whilst also incentivise them by contributing their achievements as credit points towards their university degree.  Alongside the university also offers Scholarships sponsored by its partnerships namely (Metal Trades Industry Association of Australia (MTIA) specifically tailored around entrepreneurship and innovation (John Heine Memorial Foundation Scholarship in Entrepreneurial Engineering)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This university also has a reputation for being an extremely practical university, focusing on and encouraging industry placements, internships and practical experience throughout courses. This focus has enabled university students to better understand the job market and get real life experience throughout their degree.</p>
