Abstract:
In addition to education and research, the Third Mission is one of the pillars of today’s universities. The third mission includes lifelong learning, transfer, and community engagement. It comes with new tasks and activities for dedicated resources. To fulfil these tasks, many universities are looking for cross-organizational cooperation. However, there is no standardized framework for such cooperation. In this paper, such a framework for support processes is presented. It aims to provide a standardized approach to building cross-organizational collaboration to accomplish the tasks associated with the third mission. The framework is derived by applying the Design Science research approach. An initial evaluation is carried out by expert reports. The framework has the potential to facilitate the establishment of new collaborations and structure their joint activities.
