English term (edited): third-steam funding

Third stream activity is activity that higher education institutions undertake, beyond teaching and academic research, in pursuit of relations with and services to industry and the wider community. It can take any number of forms ranging, for example, from technology transfer to student volunteering).

Third Stream Funding was introduced in England in 1999, and received a favourable review in the 2002 report of the Science Policy Unit, University of Sussex, on Measuring Third Stream Activities. In this report, Third Stream Funding is defined as “the generation, use, application and exploitation of knowledge and other university capabilities outside academic environments. In other words, the Third Stream is about the interaction between universities and the rest of society.”

Third stream (also called third mission, outreach, or engagement) describes a wide range of activities where universities interact with society, in addition to the two streams of teaching and research.

Such activities are typically seen as forms of knowledge transfer where universities share their knowledge widely to communities and industry to enhance economic, cultural or regional development, industry/business linkages or sustainability.

While Australian universities routinely engage in a wide variety of these activities there is no specific, permanent funding programs to support them. The case for new money to do this is strong and growing.

Todays universities are expected to interact more dynamically with society to better leverage their knowledge, capabilities and facilities. In other words, excellence in teaching and research is necessary but not sufficient for universities to be drivers of innovation.

The core idea of third stream funding, then, is explicit recognition that these activities are sufficiently distinct from teaching and research to warrant their own funding and policy framework.

This approach was adopted in England when it introduced such funding in 1999 and it is now well-recognised that third stream funding has contributed to increased community engagement and business-industry linkages in the UK.
