THE SITUATION OF TODAY
• There is incredible striving to search partners of co-operation
• Ministry gives possibilty to own proposals concerning closer co-operation between HE´s
• Too early to evaluate the results of the structrural changes
• There are risks concerning the regional network of HE institutions, which have impact on the development of business life of the area
