  • 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.

Welcome and practical matters The rector of the Karl-Franzens Universität Graz, Mr Helmut Konrad, addresses the Utrecht Network members. He says that to Graz (one of the 18 universities in Austria) Utrecht Network membership has proved to be tremendously helpful.

Mr Konrad adds that Graz has many good contacts with universities in Central and South- East Europe, including the war-afflicted areas (Bosnia, Albania).

    2nd Announcement Bologna Process Conference Networks and Networking in European Higher Education A Conference of the Academic Cooperation Association (ACA) 1-2 September 2003 Leibniz Haus University of Hanover, Germany In cooperation with the University of Hanover Supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research The Theme The conference targets political decision-makers, academics and practitioners of internationalisation and features high-level speakers, from the European Commission, national government and European higher education associations and networks. It is intended to assess past achievements of networks and multilateral “networked” cooperation in Europe, and, more important, to establish an agenda of future needs in the framework of the Bologna Process.

In thematic terms, the conference will focus on mobility, joint curriculum development (joint Masters and Ph.D. programmes), quality assurance, and credit systems, amongst others. With a view to these activities, it will explore the achievements and future opportunities of institution-wide, discipline-base and regional cross-border networks, and it will take a look at recently created consortia and initiatives. Hanover: The City and the University The conference will take place in the city of Hanover, the capital and the cultural, economic and scientific centre of the German Federal State Lower Saxony. Hanover, a city with a population of over half a million, is located in the heart of Germany. It is particularly well-known as a business location, playing host annually to the largest industry fair of the world, and to “CEBIT”, the world’s biggest computer fair.
