This ERA fabric map gives a snapshot of the ERA today. It looks at the division of responsibilities between EU and Member States, and at institutions and bodies involved in the European research system. Starting from the six ERA dimensions described in the ERA Green Paper, the report then looks where we are today, and which direction the future is...

Purpose This paper aims to explore the possibilities of combining foresight techniques and intellectual capital management, as two approaches of participatory strategic management, in higher education institutions. The objective is to generate concrete benefits for prospective strategic management in the academic sector. It also aims to focus on ho...

In Europe around 85 percent of civic public research funds is programmed, financed, monitored and evaluated at a national level. Less than 6 per cent of total R&D investment and only 15 per cent of European publicly financed civil R&D1 is financed in a cross-border, collaborative manner (European Commission, 2008a). This fragmentation2 of research...

En el ámbito de la Unión Europea, la pandemia provocada por el COVID ha abierto una reflexión sobre el modelo de crecimiento económico de los países del Sur. El apoyo destinado a recuperar estas economías está condicionado a que se aplique a promover proyectos transformadores en un mercado global, donde Europa, como espacio económico, no tiene el l...

Smart Specialisation Strategies (RIS3) is an approach to knowledge-based development that was central to the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and underpins the new Cohesion Policy. RIS3 calls for regions to identify, through an 'entrepreneurial discovery process ' (EDP), the innovative domains that have most potentia...

This article provides new insights into the role of public universities in regional development by looking at their involvement in Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialization (RIS3), a key element of the current European Cohesion Policy. In the latter, stakeholders from the triple or Quadruple Helix (public, private, research and no...

This article analyses the role of universities in RIS3 by looking at two different Spanish regions: Catalonia and Navarre. The paper draws common lessons from two separately-conducted case studies. The work is based on a qualitative methodology, which includes in-depth interviews with university-managers in both regions, desk-based research and a t...

Third mission activities of universities are related to the generation, use, application and exploitation of knowledge with external stakeholders and society in general. Third mission cannot be considered as a residual function but complementary to the other two missions of universities: teaching and research. Performance criteria for measuring the...

There is increasing prominence given to the so called third-mission role of universities and higher education institutions (HEIs)1 beyond the traditional core functions of teaching and research. The new Cohesion policy framework, based around the concept of Smart Specialisation Strategies (RIS3), reinforces this trend placing Universities as key a...

Purpose – The public sector is one of the least addressed areas of intellectual capital (IC) research. Universities are an interesting area of investigation because they are considered critical players in the knowledge-based society. The purpose of this paper is to develop a more general, flexible and comprehensive “IC Maturity Model” for Universit...

Together with Chapters 2 and 3, this chapter presents evidence on the interrelation between the mobility of students and of the highly skilled. Especially, it analyzes the effect of international jobmobility on academic career success measured by obtaining an open-ended contract or tenure-track position. A taxonomy of research mobility is developed...

European universities are changing towards more autonomous, efficient and competitive institutions. Higher levels of autonomy allow universities to change their managerial models to better manage their Intellectual Capital (IC) which constitutes the largest proportion of universities’ assets. The Chapter discusses the IC framework from the New (and...

Analyses of the interrelated mobility of students and the highly skilled that consider its implications for fiscal policy, higher education financing, and economic development. The mobility of students in developed countries has dramatically increased over the last fifty years. Students do not necessarily remain in their countries of origin for hig...

The Guideline for Intellectual Capital Management and Reporting for European Universities is a report produced in the frame of a Mutual Learning Workshop project. Its primary purpose is to provide university managers and key stakeholders of the HE system with a comprehensive framework for managing and reporting intangible assets in universities.

Once Smart Specialisation strategies are in place, universities can be expected to have a key role in implementation. This may include research work but also the interpretation of ideas produced across the world through international academic networks. The role of universities also goes well beyond research and includes training of future high skil...

Universities have a potentially pivotal role to play in the social and economic development of their regions. They are a critical ‘asset’ of the region; even more so in less favoured regions where the private sector may be weak or relatively small, and has low levels of research and development activity. Evidence shows that the successful mobilisat...

Higher Education Institutions have to respond today to an increasing number of societal and economic demands. The European Commission, as well as different national European governments, are recommending and developing initiatives to provide universities with more institutional autonomy in order to allow them to better satisfy such needs. Two case...

European universities are immersed in an intensive transformation process to order to transform themselves into more autonomous and competitive organisations. Adapting to the new demands implies the introduction of management systems, traditionally used by firms, in order to govern universities according to criteria of efficiency and effectiveness....

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the increasing attention to universities and research organizations at political level and the growing implementation in these institutions of intellectual capital (IC) management and reporting mechanisms, traditionally used by private companies. The objective of the paper is twofold. On one hand, to...

Higher educations institutions are crucial institutional actors in the national innovation systems and are immersed in important transformation processes that aim to make them more competitive, dynamic and transparent. Given the new pressures and demands of the rapidly changing environment, universities throughout Europe are forced to adapt their o...

Purpose – The growing interest regarding intangibles and intellectual capital (IC) has extended from firms to public institutions such as universities and research centres during the last decade. Since universities are considered critical institutional actors in national innovation systems, European higher education and research institutions are go...
