Research Interests

1. Higher (post-secondary) education (and training) systems and institutions

   1. Post-secondary education and training institutions and their relationship among each other (differentiation/diversification, both vertical and horizontal)

   2. finance, organization and governance of (both of individual institutions and of the system as a whole)

   3. the people within the institution, especially students (who are they? How are they admitted/selected? What are their specific needs and expectations? What are the specific institutional barriers they encounter? How do they learn (best)? In particular: What are the particular learning needs and problems of 'non-traditional' learners and of foreign students?)

   4. New and emerging forms of higher education and learning, especially the impact on traditional higher education of the new information and communications technologies, of internationalization, and of the trend towards commercialization of public good domains.

2. Higher education and the economy

   1. The move towards a 'knowledge-based' economy (KBE). (What does this mean for higher education? What for academic research and educational programs?)

   2. Higher education and the labor market (How are higher education graduates doing in the labor market - employment, unemployment, underemployment? How do changes in the labour market affect the content of higher education programs?
      What is the impact of the fast turn-over of scientific knowledge on professional knowledge? What are universities, and other post-secondary institutions, doing to satisfy the demand for continuing professional education?

   3. Higher education and industry (What are the mechanisms and organizational forms of making academic research relevant and usable for private sector innovation? How do different types and sizes of firms have access to university research, and how do especially small firms organize to 'absorb' it? What is the impact of the growing trend towards commercialization of research on the universities' mission, ethics and functioning?)

3. Higher education and society

   1. Changing societies - changing universities? (The meaning and impact of the trend towards the 'learning society' and towards 'learning organizations'. Higher education and lifelong learning. Objectives and obstacles of higher education reforms in various countries)

   2. From 'elite' to 'universal' systems of higher education - what kind of effect does this development on the content and the effect of higher education? (especially civic competences and engagement, capacity at critical analysis of societal problems, social cohesion of communities and societies)

   3. How does higher education contribute to the pressing problems of humankind? (especially to conflict resolution and avoidance, resolution of glaring inequities between the 'first' and 'third' world through a fairer distribution of resources and economic opportunities, the fight against discrimination, especially racism, and for tolerance).
