Lecture Notes in Educational Technology
Journal · Vol. Part F4059 · pp. 335-346
Abstract

Industry and academia have a vital yet complex relationship beyond producing graduates. Continuing education, technology transfer, equipment and resource provision, academic advisory boards, and research partnerships are some of its aspects. However, these relationships are often ad-hoc, unsustainable, and fragmented. To address this gap, capturing both partners’ perspectives, identifying valuable aspects and obstacles, and developing principles and best practices are crucial. Building early relationships is vital for students as they are the primary beneficiaries of successful interaction in our technologically advancing world. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
