This paper is analysing within the framework of innovation systems the characteristics through the Erasmus+ programme for higher education for technical universities in Romania. The indicators are providing insights about the innovation system implications. The data was analysed using Excel for statistical measurements and comparisons.
The Erasmus+ programme was implemented 36 years ago having as scope the mobility of students among EU countries, evolving throughout time and spreading even all over the world. One of the strengths of this successful programme is the innovative character based on cooperation and collaboration between entities.
Research and development are one of the key activities helping the business environment to move on. Universities mastering the research and development activities and taking advantage of the exchange experience of students and staff can consider that they have some qualitative inputs over the performance of the business environment. The analysis of this paper could bring to fellow researchers, the business environment, and academia a general overview of the development of the trend of outbound and inbound mobilities and the implications over the innovation cluster at the regional level.
The purpose of this paper is to identify the trends of the Erasmus+ programme Higher Education mobility and main characteristics showing the character of regional innovation systems.
