The goal of EReadyMonitor (Engagement Readiness Monitor) project is to study and improve the environment for the collaboration between HEIs (High Education Institutions) and business. The project specifically focuses on the analysis of the impactful cooperation activities in order to increase their contribution to the commercial and societal spheres. EReadyMonitor project will offer critical insights into University-Business Cooperation that lead to the development of the self-assessment tool. This tool is meant to measure the readiness for the engagement with external parties, as well as to help to increase the readiness at the institutional level. Finally, the project will develop the means to efficiently scale the engagement of HEIs with business.
