Abstract

In the last decade, global industry undergoes rapid and profound changes induced by the introduction of new digital technologies. This paradigm shift is called fourth industrial revolution or "Industry 4.0". The impacts of these changes on labor relations and the education systems are inevitable. The 1st International Workshop: The University for the Industry of the Future - U4i 2018 aimed to promote the debate about university-industry relation within the context of the the fourth industrial revolution. U4i 2018 was attended by both university and business participants. The event included an activity called World Café, in which participants sought answers to six questions pertinent to the theme of the event. This paper presents the results of the discussions carried out under this activity. Participants emphasized the need to improve communication and integration and to increase agility in university-industry relations. It was also emphasized that entrepreneurs need to be aware that they must take a more proactive and bold approach to the new reality. In relation to the governmental action in the context of industry university cooperation, it was criticized the lack of continuity of development programs.
