EU Vision:
“Putting the knowledge triangle at work“
What does it take to be a competitive
knowledge economy?
To be better in:
• Producing knowledge through research
• Diffusing it through education
• Applying it through innovation
How can we contribute to this?
Uni’s + Comp.’s + PA = ?

An attempt for SWOT
Strengths:

Expertise in given scientific areas
Networks of partners, representation in EU bodies
Experience in proposal writing and “EU fundraising”
Project management approach/skills
Experience in EU projects (incl. user driven approach,

Existing research teams / “seeds”




business models/plans, market intelligence, …)
Weaknesses:
 Uneven distribution of the “Strengths” within TUK
 Limited innovation activities, technology transfer
 Immature university-industry collaboration, contract
research/mission oriented research
 Better in cooperation on EU level than in collaboration with
local companies(?)
TECHNICKÁ UNIVERZITA

An attempt for SWOT (2)
Opportunities:
 Foster university-industry “dialogue”
 Develop project-based collaboration (funded from
EU and other sources)
 MINERVA
 Develop an “IT Centre of Excellence” in the Kosice
region
Threats:
 a “common language” not found
 … missing the next train to Knowledge society (or,
even worse - missing, too many next trains :-(
