Present study is focused on assessing the success, implementation time and cost of the most common teaching-learning activitiescarried out in collaboration between academia and industry, as well as of those aimed at a greater connection between studies and‘‘real’’ industrial world, considering both the opinions of teachers and students. Final aim is to analyze such opinions, togetherwith the ‘‘success vs. implementation cost’’ and ‘‘success vs. implementation time’’ ratios for the different activities, so as toimprove our understanding on the most efficient ones and reinforce our subjects trying to prioritize these collaborative actuations.Main results show the beneficial effects of project-based learning activities and of students’ taking part in real projects fordeveloping their final degree theses. In addition several actuations easy to implement, such as visits to enterprises or invited talks,in fact provide more remarkable teaching-learning outcomes, than other expensive and more complicated activities, includinglonger educational trips.
