For a renewed academy industry research partnership
Download as PPT, PDF1 like730 views
The document discusses the evolution of a learning society through e-learning, emphasizing the shift from traditional teacher-student dynamics to more diverse and flexible learning environments. It highlights the importance of a partnership between academia and industry, addressing challenges such as research driven by market needs and the fragmentation of the research workforce. Additionally, it calls for consensus on research outcomes and cooperation between research and development to enhance educational innovation.
