I think Universities need to actively promote common spaces where researchers and graduate students from different faculties could meet and talk about different ideas.
These common and fertile space would allow for collision of ideas to take place and help new innovations emerge.
Much like the english tea houses of the renaissance, Universities need these spaces to help transform ideas and research work into commercial success stories that would have a global and positive impact on humanity.
