Europe's point of view about the 'triangle of knowledge'

Higher Education contributes to employment, growth and international visibility. The three cornerstones of the 'triangle of knowledge' are: education, research and innovation.

As 'Open innovation' becomes more frequent, we can see an increase in the transfer and sharing of knowledge between higher education establishments, research institutes and businesses.

NoteWhat is this triangle of knowledge, exactly?

The strategy of Lisbon in March 2000, sets the target for the EU to become the strongest, most dynamic and competitive knowledge economy worldwide. The growth of this sustainable knowledge economy walks hand in hand with an improvement in the quality and the number of jobs available, plus social cohesion. The 'triangle of knowledge' created by the European institutions, represents this.
