University-business partnerships: key lessons learned from the EU experience

Васильченко, М.І.

Various forms of university-business partnerships have come to life in the last few decades of the XX century, fostering knowledge transfer and innovation. Since then, the relation between higher education institutions and business structures has been in the debate for a long period of time. Obviously, such discussions facilitate more profound learning of the EU experience in the sphere of the university-business partnerships development. That is why the overall purpose of the given paper is to put everyone in the picture about the economic essence of the main types of these partnerships and to the search of the main benefits and barriers of their development through sustainable management practices. It is defined by authors that in the present-day context most European universities evolve from teaching and research activities only to a commercialization process, where the partnership with business structures may be one of the important elements. Therefore, it is obviously that such kind of cooperation combines a set of the following elements: human resource involved to the essential intellectual property rights, the legal aspects in contracts, funding start-ups and spin-offs, the basic communication processes and a required promotion of the common projects.
