The document discusses several topics related to knowledge, education, and human development challenges across the world. It notes that populations are growing rapidly, resources are becoming more constrained, and societies must work to address issues like poverty, health, education, and sustainability. The document calls on universities to help promote seven strategic partnerships for human development: 1) developing a more sustainable relationship with resources in developed and developing countries, 2) fostering international cooperation, 3) understanding the relationship between population and resources, 4) linking development with competence and hard work, 5) prioritizing knowledge and partnerships for safety, 6) challenging material expectations, and 7) thinking of ourselves as "earthlings" working together for the future.
The document discusses the 2003 merger between the University of Duisburg and the University of Essen in Germany. Key factors in the merger's success included extensive pre-merger due diligence, a decentralized governance structure that balanced central coordination with autonomy for each campus, and an emphasis on continuous improvement through evaluation, strategic planning, and performance monitoring. The merger aimed to strengthen research capacity and attractiveness while achieving efficiencies through complementary academic profiles across campuses.
1) Development studies aims to critically examine contemporary social, economic, and political changes in low and middle income countries to identify desirable and possible development goals.
2) Recent research on poverty reduction has shown that growth alone is not enough, poverty is difficult to permanently escape from, and pro-poor policies are needed to address information gaps and power imbalances.
3) When speaking to a finance minister, one should emphasize that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work, persistent poverty hinders growth and poverty reduction, and prioritizing resources must be more evidence-based while acknowledging political realities.
This document summarizes research on mergers in Chinese higher education. It describes two waves of mergers that occurred in the 1950s and from the 1990s onward. The main motivations for mergers were to achieve economies of scale, eliminate duplication, and upgrade institutions. Different types of mergers are classified based on implementation models, organizational outcomes, integration level, and inputs. The document also discusses evaluating merger outcomes based on rankings, economics, academics, and staff integration. It provides lessons learned, such as the importance of planning, funding, culture, and staff buy-in. Mergers helped improve rankings but cooperation may be a better future direction for Chinese higher education.
This document summarizes research on mergers in Chinese higher education. It describes two waves of mergers that occurred in the 1950s and from the 1990s onward. The motivations and characteristics of recent mergers are discussed, including classification systems. Outcomes like rankings, economics of scale, and academic performance are addressed. Key lessons are that mergers don't guarantee success and proper planning, funding, and staff integration are important. While mergers helped some universities, cooperation may be a better future direction for Chinese higher education.

This document discusses the disconnect between research and policy. It defines basic research and policy research, and identifies barriers like dissemination challenges and a lack of usable research formats. The researcher-policymaker interface is described, with researchers disseminating through reports and conferences while policymakers access information through different means. Two models of communication are presented: a linear process and an enlightenment model with a more gradual influence. The conclusion calls for bridging the gap between the different worlds of academia and politics.
Dr. Leo Goedegebuure - Mergers and More: The Changing Tertiary Education Arch...Hedda-highered
The document discusses the changing landscape of tertiary education in the 21st century, focusing on trends like mergers and international competition. It outlines different types of institutional mergers like policy-induced mergers and incidental mergers. International competition is driving many countries to focus on developing "world class" universities through mergers, strategic collaborations between institutions, and concentration of resources. However, the document cautions that developing top universities is complex and depends not just on rankings, but also concentrating talent, resources, and good governance.
Kyvik - "Experiences with mergers in the Norwegian university college sector"Hedda-highered
The document discusses the history of mergers in the Norwegian university college sector, including a major merger in 1994 where 98 institutions were combined into 26 colleges, as well as more recent merger processes initiated by the colleges themselves to gain university status. It also examines the objectives, outcomes, and challenges of these mergers, such as increasing administrative complexity, tensions between campuses, and difficulties establishing a unified academic culture.
The document discusses the transition from academic research to applied research work. It notes the increasing complexity of social phenomena and challenges of researching higher education, including its double isolation from both general social sciences and influence on policymaking. Key points addressed are the diverse nature of social science research, lack of funding and positions for basic research, and various career paths for higher education policy PhDs, ranging from academic to administrative to private sector work.
The document summarizes a research project investigating the relationship between higher education and development in Africa. It discusses the project team members and funders. It outlines the overall research questions and analytical propositions being examined. Finally, it provides examples comparing the national visions, policies and structures related to higher education and development in Mauritius and Uganda.
The document discusses several perspectives on the relationship between intellectuals and the state, including that intellectuals are often critical of the state while also wanting to constructively engage in policy discussions. It provides examples from South African history where intellectual research organizations informed policy debates through evidence-based discourse and dialogue between different stakeholders. The goal was not to dictate specific policies but to strengthen democracy by improving understanding on all sides of the issues.
The document discusses the merger of Oslo University College and Akershus University College in Norway. It provides background on the Norwegian higher education system and landscape. It describes the challenges facing higher education institutions in Norway that drove the merger process, such as regional strengths, international competition, and fragmentation. The document then outlines the process of discussions, reports, and decisions that led to the merger of the two university colleges into a single institution to better serve the shared region of Oslo and Akershus.
