TRUE - Transformation of European Universities
People
Abstract
This joint European project, realised under the EUROHESC programme of the European Science Foundation and supported for the Swiss part through the Swiss National Science Foundation, aims to clarify how steering and governance of higher education affect essential organisational characteristics of HEIs and in turn how this affects the differentiation of the European HE landscape. This furthermore, will help understand how consciously designed European and national reforms affect individual institutions, systems and presumably their basic functions: education, research and innovation.The whole project is organised in 6 Individual Projects looking to specific topics inside organisational change in Europe; the Swiss project undertaken jointly by the University of Lugano and the University of Lausanne will specifically focus on the role of the internal allocation of resources inside higher education institutions for their strategy, steering and long-term development.
