The 7th University- Business Forum ("University-Business Cooperation for Innovation and Modernisation") took place in Brussels on the 6th and 7th of April 2017.
Organised by the European Commission, the Forum brought together 400 high-level representatives from higher education institutions; large companies; SME's, relevant European organisations and associations; as well as national, regional and local authorities from Europe and beyond. It will be a unique opportunity to share and discuss your experiences, compare examples of good practice, to network and to learn from each other.
This year's Forum addressed topics related to modernisation, relevance and skills; evolution and innovation; smart specialisation and regional development; the state of university business cooperation in Europe, the changing face of higher education institutions and new trends in entrepreneurship.
