UniRegio – University and Regional Development

Strategic positioning of universities and science transfer in regional development

The subject of the Interreg IIIA joint-project UniRegio is the recent and future role of higher education institutions in regional development within the Vienna Region and Western Hungary: What kind of activities in research, education and consulting of universities and colleges are related to regional development? Who plays an active role? How can the co-operation between regional institutions and the universities be improved, what kind of supportive structures are needed? What do regional institutions expect from universities? Based on empirical research and surveys, representatives of higher education institutions and regional development professionals of the region meet in workshops to work on joint strategies for their co-operation.
