Certainly, this vision could be applied for an IT professor. Such a professor could be replaced by a robot in the nearest future.

The role of IT (including AI) is to teach the synergy between human computers and other intelligent machines and how to combine the best of both capabilities to help humans in their activities and increase their well-being.

while the other fields are also playgrounds for successful innovation. The emphasis is made on involving the venture capital (VC) industry at the early stage of start-ups lifecycle.

In Europe, the United states and other countries, efforts are made to encourage students and Phd scholars to start their companies.

Many events are devoted to pushing people, particularly students and researchers to become entrepreneurs. Innovation contests are blooming.

students must learn realworld problem-solving; we have to connect science and business. There is also the need for a common language facilitating communication between innovation and social/labor experts.

While universities'primary focus and strength in supporting entrepreneurship is to provide/develop graduates they also have a strong role to play in leveraging their research developments to create new startups.

We encourage the new direction of HEIS that enables companies to engage directly with graduate students without any intellectual property ownership being claimed by the university,

whereby a postgraduate student can undertake their Phd while spending one-third of their time in a company (the company pays onethird of the scholarship

and IRC pays two-thirds). Each of these programmes have helped industry and academia to work more closely together to build strong working relationships and simultaneously increase direct commercialisation of research work.

We recommend that a greater proportion of our funding for Phd students be allocated to working with industry.

Introduce a Framework for companies to provide contracts to university graduate students for thesis work without clouding IP ownership. 34.

For example, graduate students who are minded commercially could be given an attractive option to study business studies or an MBA while conducting their thesis research at a small marginal cost to the university as the student is enrolled already.

Academic institutions should c o n s i d e r i n c e n t i v i s i n g researchers to commercialise

Finally, STEM students at the Bachelors level are the most likely to create valuable technology businesses.

These students should have exposure to entrepreneurship or commercialisation before they graduate. 37. Formal recognition should be given to researcher time spent on collaboration with industry in the academic promotion criteria of their institution. 38.

Universities should offer their Phd students a Masters course in business at half price, while the students are conducting their thesis. 39.

The earlier and more widespread the exposure to entrepreneurship and innovation, the more likely it is that students will consider becoming entrepreneurs in the future.

Much work is being undertaken by the Government to promote entrepreneurial role models, foster positive attitudes to risk taking, teach basic business management and financial literacy and address skills gaps.

A new targeted programme to encourage entrepreneurship among graduates was launched by Enterprise Ireland in May 2014.

The main purpose of the Graduate Competitive Start Fund is to provide up to 15 graduates with the critical early stage funding to enable them to reach key commercial and technical objectives that will in turn ensure delivery of their product

Aligning the supply of graduates with the demand of the regional labour market necessitates actions that target the improvement of the curricula, the services and the research capacities of the relevant higher education institutions.

One of the most important obstacles of an innovation-driven renewal is the scarcity of highly skilled human resources, especially of graduates in engineering, mathematics and natural sciences.

It is indispensable to align the supply of graduates with the demand of the regional labour market,

which necessitates the continuous improvement of the relevant higher education institutions'curricula as well as their student services. Higher education institutions'research capacities needs to be improved further

At the same time well-devised incentives should be elaborated to channel additional students to these faculties. The third challenge is to improve the commercialisation of research results in the region,

who developed new types of courses for different generations (children, students, young adults etc.)(the number of regional beneficiaries was 15.

In collaboration with its industry partners, it organises R&d-projects based education and training for the region's engineering students.

Companies can thereby get an impression about students'abilities and these students may later find a job at the given companies.

This initiative received support from the Social Renewal Operational Programme in 2013 under the programme (Support to regional and sectoral collaboration involving higher education.

the practice-oriented education of the region's undergraduate students in engineering and also in other disciplines.

In the framework of this scheme, students in Széchenyi University spend a praxis semester at a company.

Companies that participate in the scheme offer tutorial services for the students'thesis work (the topic is proposed by the company)

and 29 foreign companies) that offered practice oriented education to altogether 1450 students (Kardos, 2011).

The number of professors and lecturers who received training was 2, 400 until 2011; the number of implemented R&d projects was 180.

Conversely, the development of curricular content or of student services is hard to measure and evaluate:

the primary task of the former group is to ensure alignment between the supply of graduates and the demand of the regional labour market,

Several programmes have been implemented to channel students to engineering studies rather than to humanities or social sciences.

Nevertheless the supply of engineering graduates could not keep up with increasing demand for them. A catch 22 situation:
