In today’s world, with the globalization process, the mission and functions of higher education instittutions have changed within the framework of new strategies and collaboration models. In this process, the potential of higher education institutions to increase local, regional, national and international development and competitiveness has become increasingly important, especially through innovation development capabilities. Within the framework of education, research and innovation missions, universities clarify their role especially in regional development by developing cooperation models with other actors. The most effective way of transferring the knowledge -that is produced in the academic field- to the production process is ensured university-industry collaboration. This collaboration provides both using the scarce resources rationally and constituting the driving force of national and regional development. Higher education institutions reflect the physical, political, socio-economic and cultural characteristics of region. Universities must respond to the opportunities offered in the regional context by developing research agendas that reflect these characteristic. As a result, universities are the focal point of the regional innovation system. In general, universities and their collaborations bring direct, indirect and stimulated effects on the region through research, education and public service functions. This study deals with the university-industry collaboration models and their effects on regional economy. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetGünümüz dünyasında küreselleşme süreci ile birlikte yükseköğretim kurumlarının misyon ve işlevleri, yeni stratejiler ve işbirliği modelleri çerçevesinde değişim göstermiştir. Bu süreçte yükseköğretim kurumlarının özellikle inovasyon geliştirme yetenekleri aracılığıyla yerel, bölgesel, ulusal ve uluslararası kalkınma ve rekabet gücünü arttırma potansiyeli gittikçe önem kazanmıştır. Eğitim, araştırma ve inovasyon misyonları çerçevesinde üniversiteler, diğer aktörlerle işbirliği modelleri geliştirerek, özellikle bölgesel kalkınmadaki rolünü netleştirmektedir.      Akademik alanda üretilen bilgi birikiminin üretim sürecine aktarılmasının en etkin yolu, üniversite-sanayi işbirliğinin sağlanmasıdır. Söz konusu işbirliği, hem kıt kaynakların rasyonel kullanımını sağlamakta, hem de ulusal ve bölgesel kalkınmanın itici gücünü oluşturmaktadır. Yükseköğretim kurumları, bölgenin fiziki, siyasi, sosyo-ekonomik ve kültürel karakteristiklerini yansıtmaktadır. Üniversiteler, bu karakteristikleri yansıtan araştırma gündemlerini geliştirmek suretiyle bölgesel bağlamda sunulan imkanlara yanıt vermek ve bölgesel inovasyon sisteminin odak noktası olup, süreci tetiklemek durumundadır. Genel olarak ele alındığında üniversiteler (işbirlikleri), araştırma, eğitim ve topluma yönelik kamusal hizmet fonksiyonları aracılığıyla bölge bazında doğrudan, dolaylı ve uyarılmış etkiler meydana getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, üniversite sanayi işbirliği modelleri ile bu oluşumların bölge ekonomisi üzerindeki etkileri incelenmektedir.

This study examined the effects of governance in higher education on the changing structures of universities, focusing on three major aspects: the marketization of higher education, new circuits of academic capitalist knowledge, and the quality of higher education. To do so, the study employed time-series-cross-sectional (TSCS) data analysis with random effects models. The primary focus was to conduct empirical research utilizing comparative indicators and analytical tools for cross-national analysis, and to complement existing qualitative studies on the changing nature of universities. The results suggest the following: First, reductions in public subsidies for higher education may encourage higher education institutions to enter into market activities. Second, the results provide evidence that new circuits of knowledge, namely, academic capitalist knowledge regimes, are more highly associated with market activities such as university–industry collaboration and R&D performance compared to public good knowledge regime. Third, the results suggest that quality of higher education institutions is positively correlated with both public subsidies in higher education and university-industry collaboration.

Higher education institutions (HEIs) in Armenia and Belarus have been conducted doctoral and postgraduate programs since Soviet Union times. In both countries consisted of two successive scientific (research) degrees: Candidate of Sciences and Doctor of Sciences. The main purpose of research education has been the creation of new investigation; moreover, it gave bigger importance to the results of scholarship rather than formation of scholars with specific knowledge, capacities, and skills, including teaching skills for higher education, dealing with modern technologies, and so on. In contemporary post-industrial societies, knowledge becomes outdated very quickly, making the training of versatile, innovative doctoral candidates a high priority. Their future career and employment opportunities are not limited to scholarly endeavors or teaching activities in traditional academic environment. The new generation of researchers should be competent not only in their professional area, but also have general broad preparedness, including communication, management and entrepreneurial skills. Our article also offers a mixed-method perspective on the investigation of determinants of effectiveness in quality assurance at higher education institutions.

<p>Higher education plays an important role in the implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Together with industry, the collaboration can provide a wider multiplier effect. Among others, agro-industry is one of sector that provides vast employment opportunities both on- and off-farms, which potentially improve welfare of human involved. However, its activities in effort to meet the needs of rapid increase of world’s population faced with scarcity problems, sometimes merely focus on economic sustainability. Therefore, disseminating good cleaner production practices, which emphasizes the reduction or removal of environmental contamination at the source (front of pipe concept) can be done to educate agro-industrial actors to implement sustainable development. Collaboration model between university and agro-industry in Education for Sustainable Development of Agroindustry is discussed in the paper.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: cleaner production, sustainable agro-industry, university – industry collaboration </p>

The modern approaches towards higher education systems management often tend to focus on separate universities’ performance, lacking the systemic view of the overall higher education systems’ competitiveness. Thus, the policymakers often fail in tailoring the higher education strategies to the mission of higher education in contemporary society. The article focuses on providing a systemic insight into the global competitive positioning of the national higher education systems. Based on the suggested ranking methodology, the authors perform the evaluation and ranking of 94 higher education systems, highlighting the limitations of this method, and the cluster analysis, identifying 3 types of their competitive positioning: leaders, followers, and underperformers. Based on Pearson coefficients of skewness and kurtosis calculation, the article shows that globally the inequalities in terms of higher education enrolment rate are decreasing, while those of R&amp;amp;D institutions quality and university-industry collaboration in research remain unchanged. Therefore, upgrading higher education quality assurance systems becomes the main strategic priority for the developing countries in terms of ensuring their higher education systems’ competitiveness. Given the levelling of higher education attainment and its quality worldwide, the authors anticipate further specialization of the universities and broadening of their role within the national innovation system. The article shows that the more comprehensive the approach for evaluating the higher education systems performance – the better the policymakers may benefit in terms of higher education strategic management.

In an era characterized by a move towards a &ldquo;knowledge society&rdquo;, universities are central in fostering &ldquo;knowledgeability&rdquo;, that is the reflexive understanding of knowledge in knowledge societies. The objective of &ldquo;knowledgeability&rdquo; can be met through creating a stronger link between education and research. Furthermore, overall student performance, for example in critical thinking and problem solving, can be improved if research-related activities are incorporated into the curriculum. The aim of this paper is to use inter-national examples to discuss the research- education nexus from four different perspectives, namely context, policy, im- plementation and quality, with case studies from higher education institutions in Singapore and Sweden. We suggest that different integrative technologies can be used to enhance the links, but it will be essential to consider the inputs of training, service and support in using new technology. Interestingly, the act of evaluating the link between edu- cation and research will increase awareness of this linkage by stakeholders involved in both education and research. In turn the link can be strengthened, contributing to increased quality in both education and research.
