OPPORTUNITIES FOR UNIVERSITY-SOCIETY INTERACTIONS IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

Abstract

The topics of insufficient practical knowledge of students and insufficient cooperation of the university with society (industry, business, NGOs, government services, etc.)have been discussed for at least 30 years. Legal conditions for effective cooperation between the university and society exist, but satisfactory results still do not exist.Cooperation in scientific research can and should be a basis that can result in deeper cooperation in the educational process and better practical skills of students. As a matter of fact, ten centuries ago, the development of scientific research enabled the emergence of the first universities in Europe. The paper will analyze the current state of UKLO in terms of cooperation between the university and the public, especially by analyzing the functioning of the Boards for Cooperation and Trust with the Public and the implementation of joint research, development, and application projects between the university and society.
