Which future perspectives for Higher Education? How will
evolve innovation, research and the scientific job market?
Which impact for jobs? More or less employment? Far too
big questions to be answered as such. This book analyses
and proposes suggestions for a relevant number of topics
pertaining the field. From the Bologna process to the Doctoral
education organization, considering globalization and
assessment issues, new jobs requirements, mixed competences
and skills in a framework of blurred boundaries. It
offers the occasion of thinking about the European Research
Area in a multifaced way and to identify some possible
future paths and solutions for a shared cross national
future for research and researchers.
