Collaboration with society: Basic positions

Reciprocal understanding of transfer: Higher education institutions benefit from the knowledge of external actors, receiving new impulses and knowledge input.

Innovation processes help to meet current challenges, thus contributing to the further development of society.

Interaction with society includes strong cooperation and dialog with many social actors outside academia.

We understand transfer as the reciprocal exchange of knowledge, services, technologies, and people.

ENGAGE.EU Ecosystem

In order for a sustainable and well-founded collaboration between university and society to be realized, a vibrant ecosystem is needed.

In such an ecosystem:

  • impulses from society are being seized and incorporated;
  • dialog on current topics is encouraged;
  • multifaceted events are being held;
  • projects promoting the exchange between academia and various social groups are being developed;
  • academic knowledge is disseminated in continuing education formats;
  • relevant research content is shared with the public through dialog and various communication formats;
  • feedback from society is encouraged and appreciated;
  • the university engages in social debates, actively shapes cultural life, and promotes the economic and professional development in the region and beyond.
