FROM BRIDGING TO SUCCEEDING.
University and Business Co-operation Through Success Stories.
The Assembly, a full-day international conference, took place on 20 March, 2014, gathering leaders of higher education institutions (HEIs), governmental officials, representatives of NGOs, as well as employers’ associations and businesses. At the Assembly, the findings from university – business cooperation (UBC) case studies were presented. The event was structured around 3 major headlines: PEOPLE (human resources), INNOVATIVE IDEAS (solutions), ENVIRONMENT (platforms). Last but not least, the Assembly was an event for active discussion questioning Why to cooperate?, What are prerequisites? and What lessons are learned?, as well as networking and inspiration from each other and from the key-note speakers who were sharing and reflecting on their experience.

“DPA SQUALIO supports the Assembly “FROM BRIDGING TO SUCCEEDING” because its main message matches our business direction, namely, co-operation between business and the academic environment. Therefore, any initiative that promotes academic knowledge in business is closely related to our activities and the opportunity to become acquainted with success stories of different countries is one of the prerequisites for rapid development. We believe that the assembly is one of the most valuable events of multi-sectorial cooperation in 2014. Likewise, we are certain that the assembly will be useful not only to businesses and academics but also to the developers of economic and education policies.”
