To tackle with sustainability challenges, it is of critical importance to promote innovation, involving in complex ways various factors including science, technology, and economy, and institutions. As the existing models of university-industry-government collaboration tend to focus on narrowly-defined technical issues, a new approach to promoting collaboration with a variety of relevant stakeholders is proposed for integrating relevant knowledge and implementing social experimentation. Emerging practices of leading universities across the globe illustrate the important aspects of stakeholder collaboration, which include the creation of future visions based on science, setting of concrete targets, active participation and engagement of various stakeholders, development of new technologies and systems through social experimentation, effective feedback to decision makers, incorporation into institutional design, and legitimation of innovation in society.
