In an increasingly competitive global economy, how can Europe stay ahead? Our latest white paper, Driving EU Competitiveness Through University-Industry Partnerships, explores the powerful impact of collaboration between universities and industries on innovation, economic growth, and sustainable development. At the European Doctoral School (EDS), we believe that bridging the gap between academic research and industry needs is essential for solving societal challenges and advancing the EU’s competitive edge.
Why University-Industry Partnerships Matter
University-industry partnerships are essential to Europe’s national innovation system. These partnerships allow universities to apply cutting-edge research directly to real-world challenges, from climate change to healthcare. This white paper highlights how collaborative R&D strengthens the EU economy by accelerating discovery, fostering knowledge transfer, and addressing societal issues.
The EDS Approach to Collaboration
At EDS, we’re committed to fostering effective university-industry partnerships that bring research and practical applications together. Our white paper examines the current state of collaboration in Europe, identifies barriers, and offers insights into creating productive cross-sector relationships. By equipping our doctoral candidates with skills in innovation and knowledge transfer, EDS aims to build a sustainable pipeline of leaders ready to drive positive change in their industries.
