Universities produce knowledge and educate students. Why should further diffusion of technologies into society be a university task?

It will be argued that there is a problem in the innovation process: good ideas do not make it to the market and might end up in ‘a Valley of Death’. Technological research produces well tested ideas and equipment, but this does not guarantee market success. There are many hurdles to overcome before a societal and economical successful innovation is reached. Experimental facilities in real life can bridge this gap. If they are ‘on campus’ they might also contribute to education and research.

Moreover, making a campus a concentrated facility of real life experiments in urbanism might also create scope for additional scope for experiments: lifting some regulations for example. Moreover, meta level experiments might be facilitated regarding symbiosis between various novel infra-systems. Such innovations are often complex, but as a campus is mainly organised by the university, reaching consensus might be somewhat more easy. Some examples will be given of projects carried out by the Green Village at Delft University of Technology’s campus.
