Abstract: (724 Views)
Sustainable development in universities is no longer defined and generalized by the primitive generation method. The third millennium has ushered the fifth generation of universities, where educational systems incorporate new dimensions of research. Sustainable development leads to growth and increased academic functionality, with its foundation firmly rooted in research. Therefore, this study aims to review research-oriented universities with the fifth-generation approach of sustainable development and to follow the commercialization of research.
This study is a narrative review conducted from 2012 to 2024, utilizing the following keywords: University, Research-oriented university, Fifth generation, Fifth generation university, Sustainable development, Commercialization, and Academic research. It involved searches in PubMed, Google Scholar, Irandoc, SID, and ISI databases. Following the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 24 Persian and English articles were selected for the study.
According to the results of the study, universities play an important role in the sustainable and continuous development of educational and research systems in the country. Therefore, creating a balance between economic growth and sustainable academic development is of great importance. As the academic sector advances in its definitions of sustainable development, fifth-generation universities have emerged, characterized as creative, value-generating, innovative, civilization-building, and research-oriented institutions. Fifth-generation universities stand at the forefront of research and commercialization efforts, involving groups, faculties, universities, and educational systems. Thus, managers, policymakers, and decision-makers at both micro and macro levels of educational systems must identify scientific needs by bridging the gap between universities and society. They should implement effective changes based on research and its results in strategic documents so that the commercialization of research findings leads to cultural, social, economic, and political self-sufficiency in sustainable university development.
