Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship

The research you conducted for your Landscape Canvas corresponds to the 5 parameters. Your research will be most robust in this first category (Discover, Learn and Experiment), related to "Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship."

Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship

While it doesn't seem as though it directly impacts you, the extent to which faculty are encouraged to innovate and pursue entrepreneurial pathways really does help determine the extent to which they will encourage students to explore their innovative and entrepreneurial potential. Encouragement at the faculty level is one of the things that differentiates more developed I&E ecosystems. Under the "Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship" category, please provide a succinct view of whether faculty are supported to be entrepreneurial or commercialize their research.

Actively supporting the university technology transfer function

Your research about IP policies in "Pursue" in the Landscape Canvas will give you a view into the resources your technology transfer office provides. Include this overview in "Actively supporting the university technology transfer function".

Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration

The ("Spin Out") section of your Landscape Canvas relates to research centers, industrial parks and industry/mentor networks and will give you a sense of whether the University is "Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration."

Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts

The ("Spin Out") section of your Landscape Canvas also reveals the extent to which the University is engaging with regional and local economic development efforts. Many campuses also have an economic development office and staff whose responsibility it is to leverage the University's research and development for positive local economic benefit.
