  • Inter-University Networks: Rhetorics Vs
    Mae C. Fastner Inter-university Networks: Rhetorics vs. Reality Objectives and Activities of Members of the European Consortium of Innovative Universities Master’s Thesis Public Administration // Policy and Governance Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Hans Vossensteyn, Dr. Harry de Boer, Renze Kolster (M. Phil.) Candidate number: s1578634 March 14th, 2016 Abstract This qualitative study investigates higher education institutions’ engagement in inter-university networks. Inter-university networks are defined as formal, multilateral, multi-purpose and voluntary cooperative arrangements between higher education institutions from multiple countries which are coordinated by an additional administrative layer. This paper seeks to understand to what extent the activities universities perform within inter-university networks actually match their objectives towards these networks. Adopting a multiple-case study design including five European universities of the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU), the study builds on the resource dependence theory which predicts that higher education institutions use inter-university networks strategically solely for the achievement of their objectives. The goal of the study is to test the resource dependence theory’s expectation that higher education institution’s objectives towards their inter-university network engagements and the activities which they perform within such networks are aligned with each other. The empirical evidence includes primary data collected mainly through semi-structured interviews. The thesis begins with setting out the research focus and design, followed by an introduction to the phenomenon of inter-university networks including a description of their characteristics and factors of success and failure. Subsequently, the theoretical framework based on the resource dependence theory is outlined and a theoretical expectation guiding the research is developed.

  • Erasmus Policy Statement of the University of Helsinki (Sf Helsink01)
    ERASMUS POLICY STATEMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HELSINKI (SF HELSINK01) As in the application for Erasmus Charter for Higher Education 05/2013 Please describe your institution's international (EU and non-EU) strategy. In your description please explain a) how you choose your partners, b) in which geographical area(s) and c) the most important objectives and target groups of your mobility activities (with regard to staff and students in first, second and third cycles, including study and training, and short cycles). If applicable, also explain how your institution participates in the development of double/multiple/joint degrees. (max. 5000 characters) The University of Helsinki selects its European and non-EU partners first and foremost based on quality. As a research-led university, UH seeks partnerships with leading institutions globally, but also pays attention to the linguistic and cultural diversity of its partnerships. Under the Programme the faculties, departments and other academic units of UH have a freedom of choosing their partners among eligible institutions, but there are institutional quality guidelines helping them to determine the most suitable partners. These guidelines are reviewed in training sessions and are available in the UH intranet. Outside the Programme the central authority exercises strict quality control for extra-European partnerships. As a leading research-led university, the University of Helsinki has chosen not to select any specific geographic areas for international partnerships. The prevailing idea is to engage with the best possible partners regardless of their home country in order to add as much value to international co-operation as possible. Naturally, the University has some historical, cultural and linguistic considerations when choosing partners, and it recognises, for example, the growing importance of the so-called BRIC countries.
