Abstract
In this paper, a model for the future research university is proposed, which answers some of the key challenges facing universities. It consists of three independent yet closely knitted entities: a research institute, a university teaching college and a business unit creating a 'triad' structure. The possible inevitability, the advantages and disadvantages of the model are discussed.
Keywords:
research university, teaching, science and technology, organizational reform, model for 21st century
