  • Handbook of European Associations in Higher Education a Practical Guide to Academic Networks in Europe and Beyond
    Cover ACA-Handbook of .qxd 30.01.03 11:38 Seite 1 Bernd Wächter Bernd Wächter Handbook of European Associations in Higher Education A Practical Guide to Academic Networks in Europe and Beyond Over the past 15 years, European cooperation in higher education has increased dramatically. In the same period, a large number of acade- mic associations have come into being. A few insiders are familiar with their names, but hardly anyone knows what they actually do. What is their history? What are their aims, their main activities, their publications and their most noteworthy projects? How are they governed? Where can they be contacted? This publication answers these and many other related ques- tions. It attempts to shed light on the “inner workings” of the 37 most important academic networks in Europe in the form of standardised portraits. The book also contains short profiles of important higher education associations from outside Europe, as well as a “postscript” analysis ACA Papers on Lemmens containing a short typology and history of Euro- Handbook of European Associations in Higher Education International Cooperation in Education pean networks in the tertiary sector.

  • A Bolognai Tornyok Üzenete Oktatás És Társadalom
    Az elmúlt két évtizedben világszerte sok és gyorsan kibontakozó, néha váratlan változás következett be a felsőoktatási rendszerekben. Európában a legmarkánsabb történés az euró- pai felsőoktatási térség létrehozása, az ún. Bo- logna-reform volt. Közben ezzel párhuzamo- san zajlott és ma is zajlik az a folyamat, amelyet globalizációnak nevezünk. Úgy is fogalmazha- tunk, hogy mire sikerült megvalósítani az eu- rópai képzési rendszerek érdemi összehangolását, az igazi kérdés már túlmutat ezen határokon. Átalakult a gazdasági, társadalmi környezet, és megváltoztak a felsőoktatás résztvevőit foglalkoztató alapvető kérdé- sek, egyre bonyolultabb elvárásokkal kell szembenézniük a felsőoktatási üzenete tornyok A bolognai HRUBOS ILDIKÓ intézményeknek. Ebben a környezetben keresik új missziójukat. Kutatóként az európai reform 1999-es kezdetétől fogva gyelem an- nak eseményeit, egyre összetettebbé válását, a serkentő és akadályozó té- nyezőket, az eredményeket, a kudarcokat és a tévedéseket. Napjainkban pedig azt a munkát, amely a most induló harmadik évtizedre vonatkozó A bolognai tornyok vízió megfogalmazását vállalta. Kibontakozik előttem egy ív, amely egy- felől a nemzeti szinteken eltérő képzési struktúrák harmonizálásától a sokféleség elfogadásáig tartott, másfelől pedig a gazdasági és bürokra- üzenete tikus szempontok dominanciáján túl elért az alapvető társadalmi célok Ildikó Hrubos megfogalmazásának és követésének felelősségéig. Jelen kötet összeállításakor arra vállalkoztam, hogy a témában szü- letett publikációim közül kiválasszam

  • University Alliances in the Europe of Knowledge: Positions, Agendas and Practices in Policy Processes
    University alliances in the Europe of knowledge: Positions, agendas and practices in policy processes Martina Vukasovic, CHEGG, Ghent University Bjørn Stensaker, Department of Education, University of Oslo Introduction Due to the expanding competences of the EU institutions, European public sector in general and higher education and research in particular are subject to multi-level governance arrangements (Piattoni, 2010). These can also be characterized as multi-actor arrangements due to the increasing participation of non-state actors – interest groups, stakeholder organizations – that also operate across governance levels and are often organized into European associations (Elken & Vukasovic, 2014). Involvement of non-state actors in European higher education policy-making mirrors a more general shift towards a corporate-pluralist steering approach (Gornitzka & Maassen, 2000). This includes the universities. In the European context, they are expected to contribute to building the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and the European Research Area (ERA), and are affected by decisions taken at the European level. While the relationship between European policy development and national policy changes has been subject of much research, and although there are also studies focusing on how universities respond to these changes (see e.g. Elken, Gornitzka, Maassen, & Vukasović, 2011 for a review of literature), comparatively much less is known about whether and how universities themselves impact the European policy development (but see E. Beerkens, 2008; Grande & Peschke, 1999; Yagci, 2014). The limited scholarly focus on the issue is inconsistent with the strong presence of various university alliances on the European stage. Apart from the European University Association, which claims to be the representative of interests of universities towards EU institutions and within the Bologna Process, there are several other alliances: e.g.
