TEMPUS and other EU funded projects;
4. Establishment of regional Collaborativetraining
and/or Life-long learning centres;
5. Setting up of Open Innovation Networks
with SMEs;
6. Practical placements for students in
industry;
7. Industrial fellowship programme for graduates
and/or employees from enterprises.
The suggested model is not the traditional linear
model, based on the transfer of research results
to industry through publication or mobility
of graduates but rather so-called “Assisted
Linear Model” comprising a variety of interlocking
organizational mechanism such as
research centers of excellence, technology
transfer centers and incubators that move
research with long-term commercial potential
into use as well as cluster, centers for Lifelong
learning and joint consortia.
6.3.1 Establishment of Science and Technology
Parks
We suggest that all bigger universities and
administrative centers in WB countries
should establish Science and Technology
Parks (STPs), in close cooperation with
municipalities, universities, regional or
national authorities and industry representatives.
Fully developed, these parks can
incorporate some of the following units as
illustrated in Figure 3:
• Technology transfer center;
• Incubation center;
• Centres of excellence;
• Collaborative – training center;
• Patent office or IPR support office;
• Start-up center; as well as
• Offices for start-ups, spin-offs and
subsidiaries of large companies.
