University Reform - Which Direction to Take?
Comtributions for the Search after an adequate Identity
Sigurd HÖLLINGER (Vienna, Austria)
The Renaissance of our Universities is Immanent. Even though the Culture is More Resistant to Change than the Structures
Summary
The increasing social importance of education and science tends to increasing economic independence of European Universities to improve performance and effectiveness. Both the roots of the present system and the efforts propagating it are discussed and summarized by several examples. The whole system of higher education is fundamentally restructured, and the Universities have to redefine their position as an independent provider for research and teaching. Thus also the government is requested to explore new methods, simultaneously remaining operative in important fields without interfering with a general entrepreneurial independence of the Universities.
