“…Solutions developed in one country will not always be effective in another. Modern universities seem to be at a crossroads as far as their strategic goals are concerned (Bortagaray, 2009). The third strategic priority (aside from teaching and performing research) is usually called 'Third Mission' (TM) and is portrayed as "a contribution to society" (Compagnucci & Spigarelli, 2020).…”

This article presents theoretical background based on research results that is related to the issue of creating applied diploma theses at universities in Poland. On the one hand, this issue is very important for improving the quality of higher education and broadly understood innovation of the economy, and on the other hand, it is still treated as a set of expectations and demands towards universities. The aim of the paper is to identify and investigate the possibilities of increasing the applicability of dissertations developed in higher education institutions. The main research question was: “How to increase the applicability of diploma theses developed by its students?”. The applicability of diploma theses developed by its students is positioned here as one of the tenets of the Third Mission ( TM) in universities. The paper aims to make a contribution to the efforts aimed at explaining the engagement of universities in the TM implementation. The TMdriven approach to operating a university represents a radical (and often contested by academics) departure from their traditional ‘ivory tower’ stance in which teaching and research have always been treated as ends in themselves (Nakwa & Zawdie, 2016). The authors used the workshop method to achieve this aim. Workshops are becoming a popular research tool in qualitative research where researchers can gather a group of participants who under the instructions of a facilitator can discuss a specific subject. The authors participated as facilitators in a series of workshops at the University of Warsaw attended by the academic staff who were dissertations supervisors. The study also presents suggestions and recommendations for thesis supervisors in the field of increasing the applicability of research results published in theses. The article contains the results of a survey conducted among participants of a training and consulting project carried out at the University of Warsaw. The project aimed to increase the applicability of diploma theses developed by its students.

“…Science differs from entrepreneurship in that it is often regarded as being based on a particular set of norms and a sociology which create a difference from the world of business in general (Merton, 1973;Ziman, 1984Ziman, , 1994Bortagaray, 2009). But many of the traits required by scientists are not inherently different from those required by people working in many other realms -imagination, self-criticism, diligence and curiosity, for example.…”

The New Zealand government has announced the creation of a new Advanced Technology Institute – since renamed Callaghan Innovation after the late Sir Paul Callaghan – to be launched in 2013. Callaghan Innovation’s purpose will be ‘to help get New Zealand’s most innovative ideas out of the lab and into the marketplace more quickly and provide a high-tech HQ for innovative New Zealand business’.1 This development is the latest in a long line of attempts to use research, science and technology to boost the country’s economy (Palmer and Miller, 1984; Ministerial Working Party, 1986; Science and Technology Advisory Committee, 1988; Ministerial Task Group, 1991; Ministry of Research, Science and Technology, 2006, 2007).
