Abstract

The drastic reduction in investments caused by the financial crisis determined the search for new alternatives in order to streamline the waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE, e-waste) collection and recycling, as well as the recovery of valuable materials. In this context, the development of an innovation hub has the potential to increase the competitiveness by facilitating dialogue and innovation and to promote public-private partnerships, while responding to the different needs of academic and research environment, business and public authorities. However, given the novelty of such a collaboration system, it is essential to analyze the users’ requirements in order to better understand their interests and unfulfilled needs. Among them, the academic and research environment is very important due to its great contribution to both the economic and social development of society. In the current economic climate based very strongly on technology and innovation, this category of users provides certified knowledge and participate in the production of technology by writing patents, prototyping and developing models. In this context, the paper aims to identify the academic and research environment requirements in relation to the innovation hub.
