  • The Bologna Process and Heis Institutional Autonomy
    Athens Journal of Education - Volume 7, Issue 4, November 2020 – Pages 364-384 The Bologna Process and HEIs Institutional Autonomy By Linda Helén Haukland The Bologna Process has made a strong impact on the development of European higher education, although the greatest impact has not been from the process itself, but from the national reforms introduced along with it. With a relatively young higher education system, Norway was ahead of most European countries in implementing the Bologna Process and reforms indirectly linked to it. Due to path dependencies and the Higher Education Institutions being, to a certain extent, autonomous and carriers of their own culture, we cannot draw conclusions at the local level without empirical studies. Therefore, the case of Nord University shows us how this process directly and indirectly affected Higher Education Institutions in Norway. The Higher Education Institutions (HEI) integrated horizontally in an education system that was increasingly hierarchical and competitive. The need for standardisation in order to secure equality and efficiency, and the demand for greater autonomy in the HEIs was answered by strengthening some and weakening other forms of institutional autonomy along with the establishment of a new accreditation system. Three dimensions of autonomy are touched on in this study. Firstly, the question of who has decision-making power in the HEIs defines whether they are ruled by professional or administrative autonomy. Secondly, the question of the HEIs’ mission is decided either by the HEI itself, representing substantive autonomy, or by external demands on production and external funding, representing what I call beneficial autonomy. Finally, the question of how the HEIs fulfil their mission decides whether they have individual autonomy or procedural autonomy.

  • Fragmentering Eller Mobilisering? Regional Utvikling I Nordvest Er Temaet for Denne Antologien Basert På Artikler Presentert På Fjordkonferansen 2014
    Regional utvikling i Nordvest Fragmentering eller mobilisering? Regional utvikling i Nordvest er temaet for denne antologien basert på artikler presentert på Fjordkonferansen 2014. Mye har endret seg på Nordvestlandet det siste året, og forslag til flere større regionalpolitiske reformer skaper stort engasjement og intens debatt. Blant annet gjelder dette områder knyttet til samarbeid, koordinering og sammenslåinger Fragmentering eller mobilisering? av politidistrikt, byer og tettsteder, høyskoler og sykehus. Parallelt med disse politiske endringene har en halvering av oljeprisen og stenging av viktige eksportmarkeder for fisk gitt skremmeskudd til næringslivet Regional utvikling i Nordvest i regionen. Dette gjør at innovasjonsevnen blir enda viktigere i tiden framover. Viktige hindringer for innovasjon i regionale Fjordantologien 2014 innovasjonssystem kan være fragmentering (mangel på samarbeid og koordinering), «lock-in» (manglende læringsevne) og «institutional thinness» (mangel på spesialiserte kunnskapsaktører).Det er derfor Redaktørar: all grunn til å stille seg spørsmålet om hvilken retning utvikling Øyvind Strand på Nordvestlandet tar: går det mot regional fragmentering eller Erik Nesset regional mobilisering? Er Nordvestlandet fremdeles «liv laga»? Disse Harald Yndestad spørsmålene blir reist både direkte og indirekte i mange av artiklene i årets antologi. Fokuset for Fjordkonferansen er faglig utvikling med mottoet «av fagfolk for fagfolk». Formålet er å være en arena for utveksling av kunnskap og erfaringer, bidra til nettverksbygging mellom fagmiljøene i regionen og stimulere til økt publisering av vitenskapelige artikler fra kunnskapsinstitusjonene i Sogn og Fjordane og Møre og Romsdal.

Det var 29 foredrag på programmet, og av disse hadde 26 en forskningbasert karakter.

  • Report for Hhchen's DL Tour in Finland and Norway-V2
    REPORT FOR COMSOC DISTINGUISHED LECTURER TOUR Name of Lecturer: Hsiao-Hwa Chen Region: Europe, Middle-East, & Africa Region 8 Location: Helsinki (Finland), Oslo (Norway) and Grimstad (Norway) August 11-August 24, 2018 Under the support of ComSoc, I have made a Distinguished Lecture tour in August 2018. In this DL tour, I traveled from Taiwan to two Nordic countries, and stayed in Helsinki (Finland), Oslo (Norway), and Grimstad (Norway) to give three lectures in three locations from August 11 to 24, 2018 (including the days for my arrival and departure). This DL tour was very successful. I delivered three DL talks in three different institute or universities in Finland and Norway, and one is located in Helsinki, and the other two are located in Oslo and Grimstad, respectively, Norway. The topic of my DL talks was “Complementary Coded Code Hopping Multiple Access – A NOMA Scheme”. I left Taiwan on August 11, 2018, for Hong Kong, in order to catch my flight to Helsinki in the morning of August 12, 2018. In this way, I had to stay over-night in Hong Kong, due to the fact that there is no direct flight from Taiwan to Helsinki. My first DL talk was given in VTT of Finland in Helsinki on August 13, 2018, and hosted by Dr. Tao Chen, who is a Senior Scientist working in the VTT, which is an abbreviation of its Finnish name. The English name of VTT is “Technical Research Center of Finland Ltd”. VTT is one of the leading research and technology organizations in Europe. Its research and innovation services give its partners from both private and public all over 1 the world a competitive edge.
