Abstract: The paper considers the global challenges for universities, and the emerging models in higher education. It highlights the debates for e-skills in Europe and for skills needs of future engineers. A special focus is made on the educational environment in Bulgaria and the trends in last decade which have influenced the development of universities. The paper presents results of surveys carried out in two leading universities in Bulgaria – Sofia University and Technical University - Sofia, and the problems of skills and competences of their staff, organizational environment, as well as of collaboration with external stakeholders. On this base are considered some main steps towards improving the education framework in both universities, and putting it into a more strategic way.
