  • Disciplinary Barriers Between the Social Sciences and Humanities
    Disciplinary Barriers between the Social Sciences and Humanities National Report on Hungary Enikő Jakab with Jasmina Lukić and Kata Kővári-Krecsmáry Central European University, Budapest January 2005 1 Introduction Higher Education in Hungary in the Twentieth Century Hungarian higher education underwent a number of reforms during the last century and in 2004 it is again being transformed. In order to understand the extent of the changes, and the specific meaning of certain concepts that emerge in relation to this process, it is important to look back on the beginning of the last century, when a major re-structuring of the system of higher education took place. In explaining the changes, it is also necessary to keep in mind the special dynamics of these events. While political power, on the one hand, influences the organisation of administration and the content of curricula with the intention of bringing about fast and thorough changes, actual modifications of institutional structures are always slower to follow. At the beginning of the 20th century there were a number of problematic issues relating to university education, one of them concerning the question of academic freedom. The autonomy of universities at the time was relatively limited in terms of personal, educational and economic questions, and it was restricted to the internal organisation only, which was rather bureaucratic and slow. The head of the state could appoint professors without the approval of the university, and the highest state authorities had to confirm the appointments of rectors.1 Autonomy did not mean the freedom of education or that of studying either, but the lack of methods and systematic organization in education.

And what is more, the current International System of Units gave many great names to derived measuring units. The 5–10 year-long strategic partnership is top priority for elite universities. This most creative and promising collaboration ensures big and common strategic goals, and shared research vision. New knowledge generated by alliance modernizes university role and industry long-term strategy. Diverse engineering culture serves as brake but could be overcome by both parties when criterion is excellence. Trend is twofold: either richer benefits are given to fewer universities and/or universities in emerging economies are also to flourish. Operational partnerships — the second type — are based on joint research projects utilizing both the core academic strengths of universities and the core research competence of industry. Research projects on professors’ own initiatives and students’ individual research projects all pave the way for achieving strategic partnership. Transactional partnership — the third type — puts significant impact on teaching and learning. Key criteria include multidisciplinary institute on campus with industry contribution, even culture and curriculum and multidisciplinary approach to research. These criteria together with industrial practice for academics and students lead also this link to strategic collaboration.
