Bridging a (perceivedly) impassable gap – A virtual marketplace to strengthen the link between the university and the business a

The Visegrad Fund-funded project “Developing Cooperation between Academia and Society through Knowledge and Capacity Building” (reg. no.: 22310006), in which researchers from our university participated, has been completed.  The main objective of the project is to improve the cooperation capacity of academic institutions and to deepen the knowledge transfer between academia and society through the virtual marketplace.  

The result is a unique application that enables more effective knowledge transfer between academia and society. It is a virtual marketplace (under continuous development) where people interested in collaboration can meet each other. The platform is based on a webshop logic, where participating project partners can present their offerings and allows private and public sector organisations to express their willingness to collaborate.  

 The Marketplace is available at the following link: https://projectv4.vivamarketing.cz
