The main goal of the "Quadruple Helix" approach and the Strategic Project "MEDiterranean QUadruple helix Approach to Digitalization" (MED-QUAD) of the ENI CBC MED Programme is the cooperation between the key players that promote innovation, i.e. Higher Education Institutions/Research Community, State, Business and Society. As concerns to the Universities, they must become “Civic Universities” and with industries and local governments must fully play the role of Institutions that are OF the city, not just IN the city.

The project is 90% funded by the European Union (EU) and has a budget of 3.3 million euros.
