Purpose: The purpose of the study is to perform the assessment of developmental level of cooperation/collaboration between Polish universities and the business. The basis of research is the concept assessing the level of integration starting from identification and/or creation of networks till the organizations of collaboration.

Design/methodology/approach: The article is a conceptual analysis of the maturity of university-business collaboration development.

Findings: Based on the process of cooperation development, assumptions were presented to assess the maturity of collaboration between universities and business. The proposed cooperation maturity model between a university and business is a solution based on the network integration process and description of such network discriminants as: network governance, value (network rent), structuralism, network competences.

Originality/value: Well-founded collaboration mechanism, stimulating the pursuit for perfection has a significant meaning for the creation of new knowledge within the scope of general development of a society based on science and studies and for the innovation systems. Being traditional and single projects oriented, it has its unquestioned benefits however, it poses problems not only for the new developed ideas exceeding beyond the limits of the existing well defined domains and scope but also for new and emerging technologies. Cooperation between the universities and business striving for collaboration based on better understanding of commercialization processes of the research results, their innovativeness and adaptation to the needs of the economy and society.(original abstract)
