Higher education policy - Knowledge and Innovation Triangle

What is it?
The contribution of higher education to jobs and growth, and its international attractiveness, can be enhanced through close, effective links between education , research , and business – the three sides of the ‘knowledge triangle’.

• University-Business Cooperation
• Supporting Entrepreneurship
