Questions/statements 1
• Research is essential for both professional and academic education: - Professional education needs work- and practice
oriented investment in research; - Academic education needs continuous feeding from
frontier research within and outside the own
discipline • Both are essential for enhancing the absorptive
capacity of knowledge of a country/region within the current global environment
Questions/statements 2
• Higher education should rethink its responsibility with respect to employability: - Some specific educational programmes might be
closely based on current and forecasted labour market demands,
- Others should prepare for more broadly qualified students (e.g. University Colleges) focusing on a much broader scope of knowledge (liberal arts, sciences, law) and preparing students for continuous learning and professional development
Questions/statements 3
• University-employer interaction is facilitated within local campuses whereby the regional economic and societal “smart specialisation” at industry level is matched by smart specialisation at the university level
• Campuses form the ideal “working place” environment for higher educational establishments
Questions/statements 4
• Timing in focusing on employability. - No internships in first year of a Bachelor’s program? - Calibration is a more precise process than just make
a call for employability. • Quality of internships (Inge Römgens). Responsability
of higher education establishments is not so much whether an internship is of sufficient quality, but rather whether we can identify ex ante what you can learn from it, its purpose, and writing a report about the competences acquired doing so.
