Summary/Abstract: Over the past two decades, the emergence of fourth-generation universities, which are expected to transcend not only their campuses but also national and supranational barriers, has become increasingly evident. The transition from University 3.0 to University 4.0 is happening now and can be well traced through the prism of the participation of Bulgarian universities in various European research and scientific networks. This paper aims to outline the main parameters of these processes through the experience of the UNWE as part of ENGAGE.EU with a main focus on the changed expectations in terms of the "final product" – no longer just knowledge taught and new knowledge created, but also impact on the multiple elements of a complex community network.
