MCAST will be organising a conference entitled ‘Fostering Collaboration in the Knowledge Economy’ on 31 January at its main campus.

The conference will explore the theme of collaboration between business, academia and government in supporting innovative projects, reducing risk, creating partnerships, knowledge exchange and open innovation through clustering activities thereby promoting economic growth, business development and employment opportunities for students.

The knowledge triangle -the flow of added value between research, education and innovation – is emerging as the central concept on the European innovation policy landscape, at the core of the next generation of policies and programmes.

As an important institution for further and higher education and a leader in vocational training, MCAST feels the need to respond to these challenges by constantly seeking to explore avenues of collaboration in order to engage and partner with industry and enterprise - including public and private sector institutions - in order to ensure that MCAST responds to the changing needs of our society and our economy.
