Attempts for an effective renewable-energy knowledge transfer at Peruvian universities

Researchers at Peruvian universities are looking for opportunities to effectively interact with business enterprises and communities. They have also looked for government funding for these initiatives. These interactions are governed by the “triple-helix” concept of university-company-government interaction. Research groups in both the public and private sectors are trying to implement these links. In the present work, the authors evaluate a sample of Peruvian university research groups that study renewable-energy topics. The methodology considers case studies at five Peruvian universities. A model is proposed according the third academic revolution for accelerating interactions, research, innovations, and publications on the renewable-energy topic.
