Objective
Research objectives and content:
The present project intends to analyse the recent transformations of Higher Education Institutions in four European countries: the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
These countries, as most European and OECD ones, are currently taking up similar challenges:
development of new technologies;
emergence of new social and industrial demands;
new forms of labour markets;
economic and budget constraints.
In order to face this major societal evolution, changes have been implemented within the education system, in particular tertiary education. Nevertheless, the timing of Higher Education policy reforms as well as the extent and the forms of the transformations have differed from one country to the other. In that sense, if challenges are largely common, responses seem to reflect national specificities. This project intends to analyse the causes of these differences and highlights the impact of the political and institutional structures on the production and implementation of new Higher Education policies.
Training content (objective. benefit and expected impact)
- Improve personal research skills in an English-speaking academic environment which provides major material and intellectual support;
- Permit to undertake personnel and original investigation and to take advantage of the progress of the work to draft scientific papers;
- Provide better understanding of the impact of the national political and institutional context in the production and implementation of a public policy;
- Adopt an interdisciplinary approach of issues in Higher Education by turning to cone and theoretical tools frequently used in Sociology and Political Science.
Links with industry / industrial relevance (22)
- analyse how the required "usefulness" of Universities, introduced by most new Higher Education policy reforms, is translated into effective collaboration with companies at the local, regional and national levels;
- Highlight the nature and extent of these new links between Universities and Industry
