STEP identifies a clear need for action in Palestine to boost the process for entrepreneurship opportunities towards economic development and employability. With the goal of improving conditions for quality growth and jobs, the project will stimulate the university-enterprise cooperation culture in Palestine, by promoting good practice for setting internal-interfaces in universities, creation of capacities in human resources, promoting coherent information and communication strategies amongst the universities' communities and within the local business environment. It will also provide necessary strategic input for the creation of long-term partnerships and collaborative research with enterprises.
