Project: (MED UP) Measuring innovation in Mediterranean countries Development and Use of a Proper metric
Abstract
Over the past decade, University–Industry–Government–Society cooperation has become crucial to addressing the “innovation emergency” in both EU and non-EU countries.
The MED-UP project aims to design and implement a new model for measuring and fostering innovation capacity in Mediterranean countries (Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia) through a Civic University approach, strengthening the Quadruple Helix (Academia–Industry–Government–Society).
