Austrian Universities of Applied Sciences – Different but Equally Valued Institutions of Higher Education 403 Helmut HOLZINGER PREFACE Hannes ANDROSCH, Markus HENGSTSCHLÄGER, Anton GRASCHOPF Institutions of higher education, especially the universities, are undoubtedly under- going an exceptional transformation. The great global upheavals and changes that are shaping today’s world are driving the fourth industrial revolution onward. The changes of a present that is dramatically accelerating, the growing demands that so- ciety is placing on tertiary educational institutions, an increased (and desired) influx of new students, and, not least, technological change based on revolutionary com- munications and information technology all pose significant challenges for higher education. In light of these global trends, the classic and future tasks for higher ed- ucation are increasingly under discussion. These tasks have to be adapted to fit the processes of development, and they must be redefined and re-assigned to meet the global challenges. Education, science and research are the capital of a functioning, knowledge-based society; and will undoubtedly remain key tasks for universities, even in the future. However, it is not the only task of institutions of higher education to enable and support top-class university education. The necessary renewals, processes of reform and of further development in the higher education sector have to be re-thought and set in motion at all levels of education, politics and society in order to meet existing and new challenges, and to find new solutions. One dimension for meeting these challenges has been opened up by the new communications and information technologies that have enabled rapid exchange of scientific papers and findings. Further, this global exchange of research results is no longer limited to researchers at universities and other research institutes. The entire (interested) public is included in the knowledge process. The universities are increas- ingly active in introducing society at large to questions about the use of results, and thus enable cooperation and “co-research”. The role of students is changing. They are no longer exclusively consumers of knowledge, but are also increasingly active producers of knowledge and actors in, for example, peer learning. The term “third mission” of the universities encompasses this additional reach of universities, and the definition of the term ranges from engaged to entrepreneurial universities, network- ing with non-university and regional actors, as well as exchanges and coordination between institutions and society. The Austrian Council for Research and Technology Development – the Austrian government’s advisory board for topics of education, science, research and innovation policy – has in recent years increasingly engaged with the significant questions of the future of higher education and its tasks for the 21 st century. For this collection 2 Hannes ANDROSCH, Markus HENGSTSCHLÄGER, Anton GRASCHOPF of essays, the Council invited experts from various educational cultures to discuss future tasks of higher education, to describe the future of higher education and its tasks from their experiences, and thus to illuminate the range of topics from a variety of perspectives. The goals of this publication are to take up current national and international trends in the development of higher education, and to discuss possible future scenar- ios for the higher education landscape in Austria. The starting point for the volume was asking questions about the tasks of universities in the technologically advanced societies and economies in the early 21st century, and about the role of universities in solving the global grand challenges. Digitalization, internationalization and differen- tiation are inherent in these processes. This anthology consists of four parts. In the first part – development, importance and tasks – the various positions of the universities are taken into consideration. The individual essays debate the tasks of today and in the future. Proven systems and vital changes in cultural, socioeconomic and sociopolitical aspects are discussed. Changing structures are discussed and possible solutions are proposed. In the second part – management, organization

    In Austria: Progress Toward a Professional Model Or Status Quo?

    c e p s Journal | Vol.2 | No4 | Year 2012 91 The “New Doctorate” in Austria: Progress toward a Professional Model or Status Quo? Hans Pechar,*1 Gülay Ates2 and Lesley Andres3 • Until recently, both policy direction and public awareness of the Bologna Pro- cess has been focused almost unilaterally on the introduction of the Bachelor’s degree to European universities. This is understandable, as for most European countries, the Bachelor is a new academic degree. However, commencing with the Berlin Ministerial Conference (Realising the European Higher Education Area, 2003), reform of doctoral studies has been highlighted as a second equal pillar in the Bologna reform process. In this paper, we begin by providing an overview of the general policy background and the rationales that under- lie the attempts to restructure doctoral studies in Europe. Next, we focus on the specific situation in Austria, where peculiarities of the status quo collide with uniquely Austrian approaches to reforming doctoral education. Finally, through two case studies, we examine initial attempts – and related challenges – to implement the “New Doctorate” in Austria. Keywords: Bologna reform, doctoral studies, professional model, ap- prenticeship model, Austria 1 *Corresponding author.

Mein Name ist Wolfgang Schwärzler, und ich bin der Geschäftsführer der Sparte Information und Consulting. Unsere Sparte, die aus zehn Fachorganisationen besteht, von A – der Abfallwirtschaft – bis W – Werbung und Marktkommunikation ist sozusagen das jüngste Kind im Reigen der sieben Sparten der Wirtschaftskammer-Organisation. Und daher freut es mit ganz besonders, heute einen Vertreter zu begrüßen – die zweite Vertreterin, nämlich die Präsidentin der Wirtschaftskammer Niederösterreich, steckt leider noch in St. Marx im Stau, das heißt, es wird ein bisschen dauern, bis sie kommen wird. Aber zumindest ein Ehrengast ist heute unter uns, der sozusagen an der Wiege dieser Sparte Information und Consulting im Jahr 2002 gestanden ist. Begrüßen Sie mit mir sehr herzlich den Direktor der Wirtschaftskammer Niederösterreich, Dr. Franz Wiedersich – herzlich willkommen. Ein ganz besonderer Gruß gilt auch den Obfrauen – in der Sparte Information und Consulting gibt es zwei Obfrauen – den Obmännern, den Geschäftsführern und den Mitgliedern der Spartenkonferenz der Sparte IC. Bitte, wenn Sie kurz aufstehen und sich vorstellen – herzlich willkommen. Meine Damen und Herren, ich darf Ihnen versichern: Wenn es um die Durchsetzung Ihrer Interessen geht, sind diese Leute nicht so zögerlich, wie sie jetzt aufgestanden sind. Die Sparte Information und Consulting, meine sehr geehrten Damen und Herren, ist das Spiegelbild des rasanten wirtschaftlichen Wandels der letzten zehn bis zwanzig Jahre. Nämlich des Wandels von der Industrie hin zur Wissens- und Informationsgesellschaft von heute.
