This article describes the linkage between education and research and development in universities of applied sciences, especially those factors which supports the linkage either or prevents the linkage between these two tasks in higher education. The empirical data was collected in spring 2011 during a panel discussion, in which a group of personnel, students and working life partners participated in Savonia University of Applied Sciences. The aim of the panel discussion was to stir up conversation about working life oriented teaching and learning model (OIS-model) among university students, lecturers and working life partners. The OIS-model, which has been adopted in Savonia UAS, requires development of pedagogy in a UAS. Furthermore there is a need for open spaces for joint and collaborative learning, where the learners comprises of university students, university staff experts and experts from working life. Learning is collaborative and new knowledge is being produced by matching different kind of competences of actors. When developing the working life oriented education model (OIS- model), especially courage is needed to change the roles of different actors. In lecturers work, the role of mentor and supporter, furthermore the partnership role, is being highlighted. A crucial point in an expert community is knowledge sharing. This all requires ability and skills to renew. In general, the OIS-model supports possibilities for development of education and teaching and strengthening competences of research, development and innovations in UAS.
