Abstract: The innovation process in the 21st century requires a new framework of interactions and interdependences within a tight cooperation model formed out of four fundamental elements: universities – industries/companies – government – civil society presented in the scientific literature as the Quadruple Helix (QH) model. The purpose of this study is to point out the mutual influences between those elements of the QH model, the potential synergy that can emerge from it and to highlight the prominent role of the Higher Education within this model. In this context, universities are considered to be innovative laboratories of ideas endowed with adequate human resources able to improve the research and development (R & D) activities by capitalizing the knowledge obtained throughout the teaching process and to convert the research output into practice in order to improve the teaching activity.
