“…As state oversight of higher education has moved away from traditional forms of 'command and control' towards new forms of public management (Paradeise et al 2009;Dobbins and Knill 2014;Amaral et al 2013;Krüger et al 2018;De Coster et al 2008), universities now have increased autonomy which frees them to invest, innovate and enter into alliance negotiations which they see as strategically beneficial. There is also a financial dimension to this argument as universities are expected to be more self-financing and be less dependent on direct state grants (De Dominicis et al 2011;Stachowiak-Kudła & Kudła 2017;Altbach et al 2019 p. 74). As universities increasingly seek new streams of income, schemes such as the EUI are met with enormous enthusiasm as they provide new sources of funding to bid for.…”

European Higher Education Area: Challenges for a New Decade

This chapter explores the origins, rationales and design of the European Universities Initiative (EUI), a new scheme to create a series of multilateral university alliances. The idea of creating a supranational university can be traced back to the beginnings of the European political project in the late 1940s, but despite various endeavours, this ambition remained unfulfilled. The chapter places the EUI within this long-running debate and focuses on the period following French President Macron’s 2017 Sorbonne speech which advocated a new network of universities. This provided the impetus to reignite the supranational university debate and subsequently resulted in the launch of the EUI pilot phase. The chapter explains why the EUI succeeded where previous attempts at a European university over the preceding 70 years had stalled. The analysis finds the EUI to be a novel form of alliance formation which can be viewed as a ‘network of networks’. Considering the design of the EUI, how the alliances have the potential to generate collaborative advantage for their members is considered, which also identifies some of the challenges that lie ahead for the scheme.

“…The belief that relatively autonomous, collegially managed universities provide optimal governance structures to safeguard Mertonian norms of scientific teaching and research (Merton 1942) only became widely accepted in the latter half of the twentieth century and was soon challenged (Henkel 2005;Martin 2012). Fuelled by constraints on public expenditure, universities in many parts of the world have in recent decades faced increasing demands on accountability and effectiveness (Stachowiak-Kudła and Kudła 2015), sometimes leading to the implementation of more 'managerial' elements of governance, patterned on those believed to ensure the efficiency of business firms (Deem 2004;Kam 2007, 2010).…”

The deep structure of university knowledge governance system is uncharted. In an exploratory case study of a university merger with an art college, this study inductively examines how knowledge governance structures in universities affect (and are affected by) the creation and passing on of knowledge. The authors found the university governance system to provide advantages primarily for the management of core academic activities of knowledge creation through articulation and for the passing on and dissemination of knowledge through replication. It is also conducive to the coordination and integration of specialized administrative expertise. However, despite insistent calls for more inter-disciplinary research, it tends to discourage the pursuit of innovative, interdisciplinary combinations of knowledge. These findings shed light on the characteristics of the deep structure of university knowledge governance systems in academic work, namely academic staff identification with, and allegiance to, individual disciplines, as well as the independence of academic work from its particular organizational setting.

“…Важливе значення для автономії університетів мала прийнята у 1231 р. папська булла «Parens scientiarum», що стала своєрідною «Великою хартією» Паризького університету [3]. Вона давала право цьому закладу встановлювати свій статут та затверджувати правила, навчальні плани і вимоги до іспитів.…”

“…Так виник принцип академічного судочинства. Він дозволяв університетам мати певний суверенітет відносно місцевої влади та можновладців і водночас залишатися лояльними до монарха і/чи Папи [3]. Цей принцип зберігався і в період Реформації, коли протестантські князі засновували свої університети у невеликих провінційних містах.…”

The article provides a historical analysis of the universities financial autonomy concept development, identifies and analyzes the main international documents related to this definition, highlights the main elements of financial autonomy, and examines international experience in the further development of financial autonomy in the higher education sector. It in turn allows to identify the main problems of financial autonomy in the Ukrainian context and develop appropriate recommendations for the development of financial autonomy of universities in Ukraine, including the already existing European methodological framework. This article applies the methods of scientific knowledge, systematic analysis and methods of comparative analysis. The methodological background of the study is the historical basis and modern trends in the scientific literature on the analysis of the financial autonomy of universities.
