The ultimate aim of higher education To prepare students for economically viable professional life! (i bid)
The problem & question The present U-I environment in Europe is underdeveloped and highly fragmented. What are the main obstacles to cooperation of universities and companies in the domain of entrepreneurship at present? (S2B MRC, 2011)
Four pillars (Etzkowitz, 2008)
Academic leadership (Wilson, 2008; Mets, 2010; S2B MRC, 2011; Katz, 2003, Euractive, 2011; EFER, 2010)
Organisational capacity (Myravyova, 2010; O’Shea et al., 2007; Bruneel et al., 2009; Bennis & O’Toole, 2005; Drobot et al., 2009; Fillis & Rentschler, 2010; S2B MRC, 2011; ACHE, 2011)

Extension of four pillars • All the barriers classified into four pillars of the EU, are concerned primarily with internally (university)-led, but also with external (businesses- or governments-led) factors, hence the meaning of four pillars is extended into external environment.
Solutions (II) Our present challenge is to turn barriers into drivers and benefits!
