Bridging the gap between higher education research and policy making was always a challenge, but the recent calls for more evidence-based policies have opened a window of unprecedented opportunity for researchers to bring more contributions to shaping the future of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Encouraged by the success of the 2011 first edition, Romania and Armenia have organised a 2nd edition of the Future of Higher Education – Bologna Process Researchers’ Conference (FOHE-BPRC) in November 2014, with the support of the Italian Presidency of the European Union and as part of the official EHEA agenda. Reuniting over 170 researchers from more than 30 countries, the event was a forum to debate the trends and challenges faced by higher education today and look at the future of European cooperation in higher education. The research volumes offer unique insights regarding the state of affairs of European higher education and research, as well as forward-looking policy proposals. More than 50 articles focus on essential themes in higher education: Internationalization of higher education; Financing and governance; Excellence and the diversification of missions; Teaching, learning and student engagement; Equity and the social dimension of higher education; Education, research and innovation; Quality assurance, The impacts of the Bologna Process on the EHEA and beyond and Evidence-based policies in higher education.

One of generic characteristics of higher education systems is their slow evolution. Governments are not happy with this fact as they understand the role universities could play in the development of innovation-based economies or in the global political and cultural competition. More and more governments choose to push public and private universities to achieve the ...

“Leaderlessness” is widely held to be a defining feature of contemporary mass mobilization, yet the claim rests on a handful of recent cases. We offer the first systematic cross-national analysis of this phenomenon from 1791 to 2019. We show that the absence of leadership is real but older and more modest than claimed: the share ...

This essay explores the complex issue of determining the appropriate level of risk when implementing innovations within organizations. While innovation is widely recognized as a cornerstone of competitiveness, growth, and sustainability, excessive or poorly managed risk can lead to significant challenges. The discussion highlights key factors influencing acceptable risk levels, including alignment with corporate goals, ...

Быстрая интеграция искусственного интеллекта (ИИ) в высшее образование усилила потребность в нормативно-правовых рамках, которые уравновешивают инновации и снижение рисков. В данной главе исследуются регуляторные предпочтения сотрудников высших учебных заведений в отношении ИИ. Анализ основывается на рамке культурных измерений Хофстеде для изучения того, как индивидуальные культурные ориентации влияют на отношение к регулированию ИИ. Эмпирическая выборка включает ...

Дальневосточный федеральный округ (ДВФО) сталкивается с дефицитом высококвалифицированных кадров, что актуализирует вопросы качества высшего образования и формирования человеческого капитала в регионе. Одним из инструментов оценки образовательной среды в международной практике выступает концепция студенческой вовлеченности, рассматриваемая как индикатор участия студентов в образовательных практиках, способствующих обучению и развитию. Цель статьи заключается в выявлении особенностей студенческой вовлеченности в вузах ДВФО и определении их значения для образовательной политики региона. ...

В статье рассматривается проблема институциональной неготовности российской системы образования и науки к массовому распространению генеративного искусственного интеллекта. Авторы фиксируют парадоксальную асимметрию: студенты и аспиранты активно применяют ИИ для делегирования текстопроизводства, тогда как научно-педагогические работники в большинстве своём не используют его как исследовательский инструмент. Показано, что в основе этой асимметрии лежит не «злой умысел» участников, а ...

Elaborating on Welzel et al.'s "Cool Water Theory," our study zooms into the more limited (albeit still varied) framework conditions of Russia's huge territory. Within Russia's confines, we examine how the combination of moderately cool seasons with steady rain (i.e., Cool Water) affects sub-national areas' contemporary societal progress in two modernization indicators: material prosperity in ...

This work is devoted to a theoretical explanation of the Easterlin paradox, according to which long-term economic growth does not make average level of people's happiness increasing. By happiness, we mean the intensity of emotions people experience while comparing their new income with its expected value, or the target income with its original value. In the first case, ...

This article is devoted to the phenomenon of intrinsic motivation, to understand which two models are proposed. We study how positive/negative intrinsic motivation to work (experienced utility) affects worker's individual labour supply (model I) and the amount of effort they exert (model II). In model I, we use intrinsic motivation to explain the positive/negative slope ...

Agglomeration policy has long been a widely accepted approach in spatial development, premised on
the assumption that large, integrated city-regions drive national economic growth through higher
productivity, innovation, and global integration. This paper examines how this paradigm is reworked
under conditions of polycrisis, understood as a durable state of overlapping and mutually reinforcing
economic, geopolitical, and institutional crises. Focusing ...

We argue that a classification-based approach to measuring cultural differences across countries or subnational regions is a promising complement, and sometimes an alternative, to the widely used dimensional method in cross-cultural research. The latter summarises cultural variation using continuous dimensions, for example, Hofstede’s famous individualism-collectivism dimension. However, this approach relies on strong parametric assumptions, which are ...

Non-probability web surveys offer several advantages over face-to-face (F2F) interviews—they are cheaper, faster, more accessible, and reduce interviewer effects and desirability bias. As such, they are increasingly popular in both academic and commercial research. However, they often yield demographically biased samples, raising concerns about the accuracy of the resulting public opinion estimates. Most studies on ...

Innovation has long been at the center of debates in economics, management, and organizational studies. However, innovation is never free of uncertainty and risk. Every act of innovation implies a departure from established paths and a willingness to embrace the unknown. From the beginning it's never clear if there is an audience which appreciates the ...
