This research aims to develop the evaluation framework for assessing the efficiency of collaborations between universities and enterprises. Recognizing the diverse interests and strategies of stakeholders, the framework incorporates 15 essential criteria, including alignment of objectives, communication, resource allocation, research output, knowledge transfer, and student involvement. Utilizing Microsoft Excel as a semi-automated evaluation support tool, the study analyzes collaboration performance and impact. The results reveal areas of strength and improvement, highlighting the significance of communication, resource optimization, and mutual trust. The findings contribute to optimizing university-enterprise collaborations, fostering innovative research, and enhancing industrial impact. The evaluation framework facilitates data-driven decision-making, supporting stakeholders in driving successful collaborative ventures.
