Is the entrepreneurial university also regionally engaged? Analysing the influence of university's structural configuration on third mission performance (2019, background): “We conceptualise university regional contributions being produced by “knowledge spillovers” (Benneworth and Charles, 2005; Drucker and Goldstein, 2007), allowing proximate actors to more easily access knowledge-based resources (Ponds et al., 2010) thereby facilitating two important regional…”
Entrepreneurship and regional competitiveness: The role and progression of policy (2011, background): “…regions can be uncompetitive and lack entrepreneurial dynamism because they lack the key strengths which make leading regions prosper and develop (Huggins 1997; North and Smallbone 2000; Benneworth and Charles 2005; Lagendijk and Lorentzen 2007; Virkkala 2007; Huggins and Johnston 2009).”
Universities and regional advantage: Higher education and innovation policies in English regions (2004, background): “Often, the aim is to maintain equitable provision of services across territories, but as a by product of this, these provisions have provided a much more equal distribution of research and development activity than in the business and government sectors (Benneworth and Charles, 2004).”

The Economic and Innovation Contribution of Universities: A Regional Perspective (2009, background): “…knowledge for industry, and that policy initiatives designed to build new niches of knowledge and develop more effective mechanisms for transferring university-based knowledge to regional partners can potentially bolster regional innovation and economic development (Benneworth and Charles, 2005).”
Knowledge flow and inter-firm networks: The influence of network resources, spatial proximity and firm size (2010, background): “The focus of these initiatives is usually at the regional level, and while firms are more likely to possess contacts within local universities, rather than in other regions of the UK or overseas, the regional dimension of university-business support development may be a further factor determining th”
