Summary/Abstract: Achieving effective cooperation between science, education and business is one of the EU's top priorities. This is reflected in the policies of the Member States aimed at developing research and creating an environment to stimulate and strengthen collaboration in the so-called "Knowledge triangle". This publication focuses on R&D in our country. The main purpose is to highlight the contribution of HEIs to R&D development in the country and to highlight the key role of research centers at HEIs, as units mediating the transfer of technology from HEIs to business organizations. This is defined as a leading factor in increasing the competitiveness of HEIs, and hence the competitiveness of the national economy.
