Abstract
- The specialisation, knowledge and innovation brought about by universities often play a key role for the economic success of cities and regions. Yet higher education is also increasingly regarded, in some European countries and regions, as an economic sector in itself, whereby the measure of success lies in the ability to attract international students and set up international partnerships. Universities need therefore to find successful strategies responding to global challenges and fitting local contexts.
Rick Wylie is Samuel Lindow Academic Director at the University of Central Lancashire's West Cumbria campus, Principal of the Samuel Lindow Foundation and Executive Director of the UCLan Applied Policy Science Unit.
