The cooperation between Kaunas university of technology and the Lithuanian engineering industries association LINPRA serves as an example of bi-directional mobility of knowledge between engineering industries and academia. The university creates a link between science and business, ensuring commercialization of the latest innovations and science-business cooperation in various projects and initiatives. LINPRA encourages R&D synergies between science institutions and business, moderates the start of business activity between enterprises, science and foreign partners. Such activities create a platform to network, discuss and create new products and solutions via joint programmes and projects.

Watch the presentation in the webinar Mobility driving innovation: Solutions to speed up at the EU Knowledge Valorisation Week 2021. The webinar presents the example from Lithuania as well as a best practice from France that both promote knowledge exchange through mobility of people and hence support better knowledge valorisation.
