We invite you to a short journey into the fascinating “world
of universities” to better understand how these higher education institution
have contributed to the development of their surrounding environment for the
past 900 years. Have you ever thought what is the impact of the education and
research activities performed daily by universities on the regional economies?
What about the expenses made by the universities and their associated agents
(students, visitors etc.)?Do they generate any effects on the regional economic
circuit? We will discuss on how the mechanisms that universities develop at
regional level and how it contributes to the process of socio-economic development.
