In the WP 4 meetings from the 12th to 14th October, approximately 40 people from EASTEM partner universities participated. The WP 4 teams selected what aspects of university-business-industry collaboration (UBIC) our project will work on to improve and define what indicators are best suited to assess progress in this regard. EASTEM members also met with several company representatives and discussed best practices in collaboration between universities and industry.
