Distinguished higher education leaders from Canada, Germany and Israel came together at the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada’s Optimizing Canada’s innovation system: Perspectives from abroad policy dialogue in October 2014 to explore national policies in science, technology and innovation. There was consensus among participants that the core elements of a successful innovation system include:

• Strong support for basic research;
• The involvement of students as researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs;
• Support for creativity and risk-taking in research;
• Multidisciplinary collaboration; and
• Strong university-industry ties.
