The Triple Helix as a Highly Charged Intellectual Enterprise

Abstract

The THA’s recent practice of out-sourcing conference management to external, as well as internal, groups has brought new resources, ideas and people into the Triple Helix orbit, but the downside may be a loss of focus. This article outlines some of the challenges in this form of organising and the outcomes from diverse and interdisciplinary intellectual enterprises such as the academic community of Triple helix research.
