Universities are called upon producing knowledge new technologies innovation. In our paper, we argue that digitalisation opens perspectives can become one main drivers their change. Incorporating assumptions into practices policies will allow both societies fully benefit from digital transformation. Making human-oriented innovation as trademark developing cooperative models help achieve sustainable priorities. use Quintuple Helix Model (QHM) might foster process necessary transformations capacities it integrates different sets stage sustainability priorities considerations. As far practical goal concerned, paper proposes set recommendations aiming forms channels distribution education, research within in context QHM 5.0. We call them socially digitally engaged model.
