TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that there are two interrelated problems requiring attention: the institutional embeddedness of socio-technical development processes within specific territorial spaces, and an explicit multi-scalar conception of socio technical trajectories.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a conceptual framework for better understanding geographical dimensions of sustainability transitions, and begin to highlight some of the boundary boundaries of transition networks, and explicitly acknowledge and investigate a variety of transition pathways.

TL;DR: The authors argue that universities' responsiveness to stakeholders does not evolve simply and functionally but in response to the networks of relationships in which they are situated, which has important implications for how stakeholder research is used in higher education research, and for the design and implementation of policies to improve universities' societal contributions.

TL;DR: The contribution of higher education institutions to regional development is a theme that has attracted growing attention in recent years as mentioned in this paper, where knowledge institutions are increasingly expected not only to conduct education and research, but also to play an active role in the economic, social and cultural development of their regions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual model of how university spin-off companies (USOs) can improve their regional economies is developed, to identify those elements which can potentially upgrade regional economies through knowledge accumulation, which are termed as building up territorial knowledge pools.
