In the XXI. century the role of higher education is in a transition phase, the successful higher education institutions have an important role in the formation of the economy and the society of a certain region. Several successful examples prove that universities have a quite intense role in the improvement of competitiveness of certain territories and in many cases they have an active role in endeavors regarding economic development. Modern economic development demands that due to the increased social and economic commitments the traditional (education and research) activities of the universities should broaden. To be able to exploit their optimal potential regarding economic development, high quality education is a necessary but not sufficient factor (first generation universities). High-standard research (second generation universities) and the adaptation of research outputs by the local economy (third generation universities) are also necessary.

The goal of this study is to review and systematize the active and passive activities of universities that serve the improvement of regional competitiveness.
