Roman Zavbi, Nikola Vukašinović
The development of innovative and competitive products is crucial for any company’s long-term success in the global informationsociety and the global market. Educational engineering programs should facilitate the building of both technical and professionalengineering competences. Project based learning, teamwork and real-life product development in collaboration with industrialcompanies seem to be appropriate ingredients of such programs. A concept of academia–industry collaboration and its realisationswere developed and applied by a strategic alliance of European universities. Initial results of the communication-trust building-creativity triad showed some properties of one of the applied concept realisations. Although the concept and its realisations weredeemed successful, identified issues have to be addressed in the future.
