This volume presents recent scholarship on the changing research
mission of the university and on the implications of these changes
for the university itself. As these papers make clear the leading
nations increasingly view the research mission of the university as
a principal component of national innovation policies. The papers
therefore examine the current preoccupation of higher education
policy with concentrating knowledge production to enhance national
innovation and competitiveness and with assessing research. The
authors explore how this new policy emphasis has influenced:
research funding mechanisms; research evaluation; initiatives
designed to encourage university knowledge transfer; and reforms of
doctoral education. The papers analyse the impact of these reforms
and the response of universities to the changing policy
environment. The volume has a strong comparative focus drawing on
research from a range of European countries as well as from
Australia and the United States. It combines papers from some of
the leading scholars in research in higher education together with
papers from younger scholars in the field. This is the first volume
in a new series which will publish selected papers from the annual
conferences of the Consortium of Higher Education Researchers
(CHER). The volume will be of particular interest to researchers in
the field of higher education, to those who occupy leadership roles
in higher education institutions and to those involved in the
development of higher education policy at national and
international levels.
