In the first statement, it means there are specific IDEAS that are being nutured in the universities. It means the IDEAS are known.

In the second one, it means that it is a fact or opinion that ALL IDEAS are nutured in the universities. The IDEAS are not known yet.

Ideas that are nurtured in the universities
This is not a complete sentence. "that are nurtured in the universities" is a defining clause that modifies the subject "Ideas" of the main clause. The predicate of the main clause is missing.

Ideas are nurtured in the universities
This is a complete sentence.
