The Science-to-Business Marketing Research Centre can proudly announce that the project “University-Business Cooperation in Europe: drivers, challenges, and opportunities“ of DG Education and Culture of the European Commission has been awarded to the consortium led by the S2BMRC. Over the course of the project (22 months 15.12.2015-15.10.2017) a Europe-wide study on cooperation between universities and business (UBC) will be undertaken.
The project is a follow-up project from an earlier tender which was executed by the Science-to-Business Marketing Research Centre in 2010-2011. This study was the largest study ever undertaken on the topic of UBC in Europe. In contrast to the previous study, the current tender will also take the business perspective into account and will have a larger focus on indicators and the UBC eco system.
An initial project kick-off at the European Commission is planned for February 2016.
