Abstract

This chapter dwells on the state of university-business cooperation within the European Union, with special attention to the situation in Romania. The discussion is contextualized by referring to Adapt2jobs, a higher education project, developed with a view to adapting seven courses from three different domains to the demands of today's ever-changing labour market. All courses aim at developing transversal, multidisciplinary, and innovation skills and competences, and offers students up-to-date subject-specific knowledge. Moreover, the choice of blended learning for their delivery is meant to bring the new technologies inside the university for the benefit of students who are encouraged to become active and reflective learners, able to continue learning long after leaving school.
