Description: This book offers a radically new vision of how the university might become a special sort of workplace/community of thinkers and doers, working together to understand and solve real human problems, in a competitive global market. It is a practical vision created by experienced authors.

Can the finest minds, traditionally associated with universities, devote themselves to the long-term interests of the planet and our descendants? What would happen if they could join together, worldwide, to find solutions to complex human problems? What will happen to the university and to us if they do not?
