On January 21st, 2025, the Technical University of Košice hosted the third national workshop for the development of the Slovak COVE. Over 30 representatives from various sectors, including the Ministry of Education, participated. The workshop utilized a collaborative ring format, allowing for cross-sectoral discussions within the Quintuple Helix framework. The aim of the workshop was to move closer to the goal of defining the vision, mission and strategic objectives of COVE, but also to forge new relationships and create strong partnerships.

The workshop helped to kick-start synergies between the INVESTech_V2 project and other European initiatives such as the European Ulysseus University and EDIH CASSOVIUM, which support skills development and accelerate innovation in the Eastern Slovakia region.

We're excited about the progress and the strong support from stakeholders.
