The\u00a0\u00a0UNIKE Programme of Research Training aims at developing the knowledge and skills of young as well as more advanced researchers.

To grasp how managers, academics and students in their everyday practices adopt, modify or contest transnational, national and institutional policies, and take their own alternative initiatives, requires not only an expanded and invigorated approach to researching the transformation of universities, but also the development of capacity, via networked expertise in research training, to make systematic explorations of these questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where the research on university reform has tended to focus on one or more aspects of reform \u2013 e.g. the policy role of transnational organizations, or the reforms of university governance and management \u2013 this has not revealed their cumulative effects on what is actually happening on the ground and in the sector as a whole. Comparative analysis of university transformations demands strengthened and strategic European networking of expertise in the analysis of the sector, and improved collaboration between European and “third world country\u201f researchers, especially in the Asia Pacific Rim, using a model of distributed interdisciplinary cooperation.<\/span><\/p>\n

To address these challenges, UNIKE\u00a0 recruited 12 doctoral positions and two post doctoral positions at six European Universities in an Initial Training Network (ITN).<\/strong> Applicants from all countries were encouraged to apply.\u00a0 See\u00a0 Basis for application<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
