..:: Knowledge Triangle and Cooperation ::..

Welcome to EU Germ Project

At present European universities face 2 interrelated challenges:

• To adapt better their education and research to the real society’s needs through an efficient mutual knowledge and know-how transfer rising from cooperation with economic practice.
• To find ways how to prepare their students for working in the global world, namely for cooperating with stakeholders from countries beyond Europe, including developing and/or emerging regions.

The project consortium wishes to address both of them by developing sustainable strategies for cooperation higher education - enterprises between European Union stakeholders and those from Latin America and Caribbean (LAC).

Specific objectives:

• To identify the present situation in the field of university-enterprise cooperation between EU and LAC stakeholders and to develop sustainable strategies for cooperation in the field of knowledge, know-how and experience transfer.
• To develop an effective, time-saving and user friendly mechanism and procedure for making it easier to manage different cooperation arrangements.
• To raise awareness about the need of the EU-LAC University – enterprise cooperation among relevant stakeholder in selected EU countries.
• To create a nucleus of a potential network of partners interested specifically in promoting EU-LAC University – enterprise cooperation.
