Synopsis :

In all of Europe universities have to deal with government retrenchment. Institutions are forced to find new sources of financing, such as making their academic research a source of income. But does external financing leave enough room for essential research that is not directly useful to the sponsor? Or are the universities soon to become exalted R & D centres in the service of the corporate sector? In Eureka! prominent scholars compare how the twelve universities of the League or European Research Universities (Cambridge, Edinburgh, Geneva, Heidelberg, Helsinki, Leiden, Leuven, Milan, Munich, Oxford, Stockholm, Strasbourg) handle this financial challenge. Where do the scholars, students and administrators stand, faced with new revenue streams coming to their universities? And what can their European colleagues learn from them? With contributions from Thomas Blondeau, Douwe Breimer, David Bremmer, Frank Provoost, Hester van Santen, and Christiaan Weijts.

À propos de l'auteur: Frank Provoost is Editor in Chief of Mare - Leiden University Weekly.
