In regions that have high concentrations of universities, policymakers and business leaders should always look for more ways to encourage these young academics to stay after graduating.
NERIN, headquartered at MIT, will contribute to the NSF National Innovation Network as the ninth regional I-Corps Node, and will be instrumental in assisting researchers across the region, with its dense concentration of universities and world-class research.
"Concentration of universities is a big contributor to that entrepreneurial environment," says Gordon Jones, managing director of Harvard's Innovation Lab.
The high concentrations of middle-class university graduates, younger voters and ethnic minorities in London poses serious problems for Ukip, which struggles with these groups.
The Atlanta area is home to the highest concentrations of colleges and universities in the southern United States; Spelman is a 30-minute drive from Emory, Georgia Tech and Agnes Scott College, among others.
This was an arbitrary decision based on where the main concentrations of research-active universities were.
As in Austin and Seattle, a high concentration of good universities in Denver and nearby cities, like Boulder and Fort Collins, has contributed to the region's well-educated workforce.
America is home to the greatest concentration of research universities in the world, with the best laboratories and faculties as well as, arguably, the top students.
Cities such as London and Boston might contain a greater concentration of top universities, but it is the composite experience of studying in Vienna – a city of easy living and affordable tuition -- that makes it one of the world's best cities for students.
