The role of European UAS in research is
still a rather small one.

There are many restrictions for the
research mission of UAS.
§
High teaching loads (Germany 18 hours per week, Austria
16-17, Switzerland 80% of the working hours)
§
No publicly funded master programmes offered (NL)
§
Only professors, no other academic staff from core budget
(D, CH, A)
§
Ph.D.-programs only in cooperation with universities (D, CH,
A)

But everywhere the role of research is
increasing.
In all countries mentioned there is an explicit legal
research mission of UAS
External research funding is strongly increasing (Germany:
2009-10 18%, 2010-11 16%, 2011-12 10%) – in GER, NL,
BE increase pushed by public funding
Debates about rights to award Ph.D.s, resources and
framework conditions for research (e.g. flexibilisation of
workloads) are taking place
And what about research
performance of UAS?

On the institutional level we find quite
diverse research profiles of UAS.
Research performance is
around average (best:
interdisciplinary publications),
high income from industry and
spin-offs but low patenting.
Regional joint publications
and income top, international
publications low.
Entrepreneurial atmosphere, strong regional orientation but with
international mobility, interdisciplinary und innovation-oriented but without
own patenting policy, no strong focus on teaching efficiency.

On the institutional level we find quite
diverse research profiles of UAS.
Strong research performance
(also classical indicators such
as citation rate), very high
income from industry and many
publications with enterprises,
but no patents and very few
spin-offs. Internationalisation is
put into practice especially in
publications and doctorate
degrees.
Strong research orientation with strong connections to industry, high
income from private sources, strong international orientation (attractive
for young researchers), also engagement in basic research.

1530594_0011.png
On the institutional level we find quite
diverse research profiles of UAS.
Very specific research profile:
art related output and
interdisciplinary publications.
Highest score on international
co-publications! Student
mobility, international staff
show high international
orientation too.
Knowledge transfer is put into
practice with publications with
industries, spin-offs and
publications cited in patents.
Strong international orientation combined with strength in knowledge
transfer and particular research profile.

On the institutional level we find quite
diverse research profiles of UAS.
Very strong regional
engagement, while performance
in research and knowledge
transfer is only at average.
Knowledge transfer with industry
is not a core area of this UAS.
With exception of foreign
language programs,
internalization is not really
pronounced.
Strongly regionally embedded UAS with a few peaks in other areas of
performance (e.g. internationalisation at home).

1530594_0013.png
All this results in a general trend with two
potential further developments.
Research mission of UAS exists and develops dynamically despite
restrictions, but there are no clear roles and divisions of labour yet,
rather a variety of specific institutional profiles
Where do we go from here?
Hierarchy, academic
drift, imitation of
universities
Horizontal
differentiation, specific
role(s) in the sector
Ending up in a unitary
system (with
institutional profiles)
Binary or even more
differentiated system,
but what kind of roles?

Most observers see academic drift and
unitary systems as a danger.
Institutional monoculture
Costly reputation race for world-class, whereas other
functions of HEIs are neglected
Frustration of “2nd class” institutions instead of being
proud of their own specific profile
We need world-class systems instead of
single world-class institutions. We need a
combination of horizontal and vertical
differentiation

1530594_0016.png
For differentiated systems we need a
typology of (research) roles for UAS.
Discipline with orientation on practical problems in the
focus (Germany: 1/3 of external research funding
goes to engineering, also strong in Ireland and
Switzerland), different models for teacher training
Promotion of new disciplines which are being
academised, examples are health care, midwifery or
early childhood education (differences between
countries)
Research as means to the end of better education,
some research involvement as precondition for good
teaching, better practice in occupations in
education/health/social care (N)

For differentiated systems we need a
typology of (research) roles for UAS.
Special research modes (solving a practical/
professional problem, optimization of technical or
social processes, evaluation of solutions already
realised, consulting, etc.)
Cooperation and strategic alliances with SME
(without own research units), solutions for their
practical problems (example Germany: new alliance
of SME-oriented UAS)

Specific role in regional development and outreach,
regional networks with companies, public authorities
and social actors, knowledge transfer in the region
Regional
mission
Social
engagement
Partnership with public and private sectors, research
aims at understanding the needs of society,
strengthen democratic values and civic responsibility
Great variety of rationales to do
research at UAS!

Picking one of these roles as standard
for a binary system doesn‘t work.
The time of a totally clear role of
UAS in a binary system is over,
autonomy and decentral creativity
should not be restricted.
All these roles are plausible and
relevant (and could be mixed, but
institutions still need a focus).
Government could steer into specific role
directions (by rules and by funding
programmes), but leave autonomy for
profiling (incl. university-UAS hybrids),
systems are becoming more complex than
just binary.

depend on the intended role.
Quality of professional
education: basic research
funding for all staff
Applied research or
promotion of discipline:
focused funding programs
for few researchers
SME orientation: matching
funds
Academisation: full funding
of a new organisational unit

European UAS offer a variety of good
practices in research policy/management.
Cooperative, Ph.D. awarding research
schools (Germany)
Allow new legal constructions
- Professors of university and UAS become members of
joint research schools, school awards Ph.D. (with logos
from all partners)
- Completely equal roles and rights of all partners
- Clear criteria for membership

- Relate competition to target agreements (including
criteria, for example regional impact or inter-faculty
cooperation)
- Only allow master programmes related to research
clusters
- Create collaborative formats beyond faculty borders
