Adaptation to the European Higher Education Area has prompted European universities to concentrate on becoming more attractive to students, lecturers and researchers from different world regions. This paper analyses the places of origin of international university students in different European countries. The countries are shown in groups by their international students’ places of origin.The groups of countries were formed by using a cluster analysis and, as classification variables, the percentage of foreign students from different world regions in each of the European countries. An ascending hierarchical procedure was used to form the groups and, as the distance metric, the squared Euclidean. The results indicate that it is possible to identify four groups of countries with different characteristics. Following the classification, the main differences between the groups of countries were analysed.Observing the different groups obtained, the percentage of African and South American students is remarkable in the group of countries formed by France, Portugal and Spain. In contrast, the group of countries formed by Finland, Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Ukraine, Greece and the Russian Federation is distinctive for a high average percentage of Asian students. In the other two groups of countries, there is a considerable percentage of international European students.© 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Development Mechanism

Universities pays a lot of attention and investment in the technology commercialization for its sustainable development and social contribution under Korean government-driven policies. However, when compared to US or European universities, the outcomes of the technology commercialization in universities are relatively inactive. Therefore, this study aims to propose a new idea-oriented framework of University-Technology Commercialization (UTC). To achieve this, this study explores the sustainable mechanism from idea to technology commercialization in the volatile environment by employing dynamic capabilities framework. This study employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to identify causal relationships among the variables with a 2014 to 2016 dataset from ‘Higher Education in KOREA’. This study collected national and cross-sectional data from different time periods to design our longitudinal study. Our study examines UTC activities related to sustainable idea development mechanism from dynamic capability framework. The results show the importance of start-up clubs as a first step for idea exploration in university technology commercialization and patents as important for both technology transfers and start-ups. Our findings offer new UTC directions for university policy makers.
