QUESTIONS:
How do we create networks between knowledge and education triangles?
Can a school collaborate with a research institute?Can a school create (not only disseminate) knowledge?Can a research institute usefully involve pupils in research projects?
What are the proportions for the particular and public interest and responsibilities?Can a network between the education and knowledge triangle be self-sustaining?

RESEARCH + INNOVATION = FAVOURISE CREATIVITY!
CREATIVITY:Knowledge (education based on research)Diversity (different experience, sinergies,
mobility, …)Culture (market for innovation, positive attitude,
…)
