Download or read book European Integration and the Governance of Higher Education and Research written by Alberto Amaral and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-03 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The high level Douro seminars are now a well-established tradition in the annual activities promoted by Hedda, a European consortium of nine centres and ins- tutes devoted to research on higher education, and CIPES, its Portuguese associated centre. At the seminars, each member of a small group of invited researchers presents and discusses an original research-based paper that is revised afterwards taking into account the comments of the participating colleagues. The revised papers form the basis for the annual thematic book published by Springer in the book series called Higher Education Dynamics (HEDY). Paying tribute to the regularity of the seminars, it was decided that the volumes originating from the initiative would be collected in a ‘series in the series’ called the Douro Series. Previous seminars were dedicated to in-depth analyses of different aspects of higher education systems and institutions, including institutional governance, the emergence of managerialism, markets as instruments of public policy, cost-sharing and accessibility of students to higher education and developments in quality assurance. The present volume aims at analysing the change process which the European university is undergoing as a consequence of European integration efforts. In the case of higher education, these have materialised, amongst other things, in the - plementation of the Bologna process, while the Lisbon summit also has important consequences for the university. In March 2000, the Lisbon European Council set the goal for the EU to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based society in the world by 2010.

After defining a general framework for ERA governance and the description of individual initiatives, the Study proposes a set of recommendations for improving current situation.
Download or read book The Changing Governance of Higher Education and Research written by Dorothea Jansen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses and describes the effects of the reforms of the European science systems on research. Taking the multilevel governance of the science system into account, the authors describe the effects of the reforms on different aspects: research collaborations and research lines, PhD education, performance profiles, research funding and legal aspects. The first part of the book deals with “PhD education” from an economic perspective. How successful are Research Training Groups and is heterogeneity really a factor of success? What kind of PhD education leads to success? The second part focuses on the interactions of governance and research. How do changes at the national and organisational level influence research cooperation, research lines and research performance? The third part reflects the Europeanisation and Internationalisation of research and research funding. To what extent are research collaborations becoming international? How is the role of European funding agencies changing?

Download or read book Towards European Science written by Linda Wedlin and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-18 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the European Research Area was launched at the beginning of the century, significant efforts have been made to realise the vision of a coherent space for science and research in Europe. But how does one define such a space and measure its development? This timely book analyses the dynamics of change in the policy and governance of science and research within Europe over the past decade. It widens the scope of traditional policy analysis by focusing attention on the interaction between policy rationales, new governance mechanisms, and the organisational dynamics of the scientific field. The contributors build a novel analytical framework to understand the European research space as one shifting from a fragmented space of “Science in Europe” to one that is labeled “European Science”. The chapters explore the dynamics of this shift through the lenses of political science, organisation theory, science policy and related analytical traditions. Towards European Science is an interdisciplinary book which will attract a wide set of scholars and professionals interested in science policy, governance and scientific practice. It will also be of use to university leaders and managers, as well as policy-makers and practitioners working on issues of internationalisation and the Europeanisation of science.

This `multi-level politics′ approach offers a powerful lens through which to view the future course of European integration. The contributors′ empirical exploration of areas such as regional governance, social policy and social movements underpins their broad conceptual and theoretical framework providing significant new insight into European politics.

Download or read book Changing European Governance of Research written by Arne Pilniok and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, the Framework Programme has been a synonym for European research policy. European governance of research was for decades based on competition between researchers, research organisations and industry for research funding that was more or less exclusively organised by the Framework Programme. With the introduction of the political concept and - subsequently - the normative goal of Article 179 TFEU of creating a European Research Area (ERA) in 2000, a second phase of the approach to research governance within the Union started. This also marked a shift in governance modes. This article focuses on the changing European governance of national research policies and research funding. It combines a legal analysis with the theoretical insights of governance as an analytical perspective. The central assumption of the chapter is the emergence of a 'European research administrative space', drawing on observations made for the development of public administration in the multi-level system of the European Union in general. The shifting forms of executive governance in EU research policy oscillate between the persistence of the traditional modes of direct implemen-tation and new forms of governance, which connect European and national actors in research policy and research funding. Thereby a 'third layer' between the European and the national level of governance is created. Within this framework, the governance structures used and established in order to integrate national actors in research policy and research funding in the ERA are analysed. The problems of legitimacy and accountability resulting from these new forms of governance are critically examined. The chapter thereby contributes to the analysis of new governance models emerging in the ERA as well as to the discussion on European governance in general.
