Higher education institutions (HEI) in Slovakia have undergone the serious transformation (the adaptation to free market economy, Bologna process, etc.); however the participation of broad academic and student community on the transformation was not always assured. One of the promising approaches to change the existing situation was to introduce participatory electronic framework in the selected Universities for discussing the problems of educational policies in HEI in the framework of Bologna processes, which may have the potential impact on HEI, as well as, on broader society. Although e-participation methods have showed the promising potential for acceleration of changes related to solving educational problems and Bologna processes by better use of intellectual potential of universities, they also revealed the new problems that are briefly discussed.

Abstract.Higher education has to adapt to the market principles in postsocialistic countries after the year 1989. The training of graduates should constantly reflect on the business environment, where the graduates are coming after university study. A lot of them do not want to obtain only detailed knowledge from technical subjects as electrotechnics, chemistry, informatics, etc., but they require training (lectures, exercises, workshops) in the field of economics, management of small and medium enterprises, marketing, and finances. The study combination of an entrepreneurial focus on the technical / technological universities brings high-qualified high-engaged and flexible young people for immediately changing market. The real experience and results with this type of the study in the Slovak university of technology Bratislava -Institute of management are discussed in the conclusion of the paper.
