Abstract
The construction of the knowledge-based economy requires strengthening the system of connections
between universities and the business environment. The co-operation of universities with enterprises
contributes mutually to both a growth of their competitiveness and innovativeness and to an
enhanced attractiveness of university graduates on the labour market. According to employers, the
competence of Polish university graduates that is most acutely missing is the ability to link theoretical
knowledge with business practice requirements. The paper presents the principal form of possible
co-operation of universities with business, including: co-operation in research, commissioning
topics of diploma theses, co-operation in the field of traineeships and delivering university courses
by business representatives as well as institutional foundations of such co-operation. The last element
of the paper is the presentation of selected results of our own survey among the alumni of the
Faculty of International and Political Studies of the University of Lodz concerning their evaluation of
the strengths and weaknesses of the university from the perspective of attractiveness of graduates on
the labour market and possible forms of co-operation with their former faculty. Alumni may constitute
a bridge between academia and business.
