Abstract: Good communication between University and economy is permanently bad. Although Slovenian science is permanently subject of analysis and reorganization, there are no evident improvements in its organizational structure or the way it is organized and the share of researchers in the so called governmental and economic sectors. There are opinions that the key problems of Slovenian science are in the field of technical sciences; that the cause of industrial non-competitiveness are engineers. An overview of the data of expenses (share of GDP for R&D) or investments in science based on the data of number of young researchers in Slovenia shows: • That the Lisbon strategy incorporates the right goals and clear mechanisms, although the critical points are instruments and coordination for achieving these goals • That Slovenia has to model on new members, which have already introduced their own budget supported goals of the Lisbon strategy; • That ever since the establishment of the new country of Slovenia a consensus amongst among all the pillars of political power has not been able to be reached regarding what the role of science should be (primarily of R & D) and what the relation between universities and the economy should be. The Lisbon strategy gives us the answers to the question how the EU can be competitive in the long run and at the same time preserve the European model of life; meaning a balance amongst economical, social and environmental goals. The first condition for the maintenance of social sustainability and kindness towards an environment is economical growth.
