This book is the first of several with the results of a
collaborative European project supported by the European Science
Foundation on changes in the academic profession in Europe
(EUROAC). It provides a short description of the ESF EUROHESC
programme and the particular forms of international collaborative
research projects which are funded under the umbrella of this
programme. It then outlines the EUROAC project. This project has
chosen three foci (governance, professionalisation, academic
careers) to analyse changes in the work of the academic profession.
The first results in the form of in-depth literature reviews
constitute the content of the book. These eight literature reviews
about the state of the art of existing research feature the various
dimensions of the overall theme. A particular emphasis is put on
factors leading to changes in the work tasks of the academic
profession in Europe and how the academic profession is coping with
these new challenges. Thus, the book provides a state of the art
account of existing research about the following themes: main
results of previous studies on the academic profession; the
academic profession and their interaction with new higher education
professionals; professional identities in higher education;
extending work tasks: civic mission and sustainable development;
academic careers in academic markets; the changing role of
academics in the face of rising managerialism; the influence of
quality assurance, governance, and relevance on the satisfaction of
the academic profession.
