“…New and innovative solutions are required for fostering the development processes. Within this context, the so-called "knowledge triangle" constitutes a framework for spatial research in which the actors entangled together in the mutual interactions in education, research, as well as innovations (Scott, 2015). Therefore, the place of the scientific research and HEIs in the innovative social and economic policies aimed at promoting regional development is becoming gradually more important (Horváthová and Čajková, 2018).…”

This work assesses and scrutinizes the specific position of the universities and their relevance in fostering the regional development within the context of the globalized economy of the 21st century based on the relevant economic theories as well as the outcomes of the related research studies. Being both the educational as well as the research institutions, universities represent the important drivers that occupy an important position in knowledge-based and innovation-based society with a view to sustainable development at local, regional, national, and global levels. However, the society is sometimes not very much aware of the spectre and variety of services universities provide, or rather the way how the universities help to solve societal or local problems using their position and their activities. With the active cooperation of universities with local and regional governments in place, students have the opportunity to participate in identifying the problems of society and finding appropriate solutions by applying their theoretical knowledge. It is precisely the universities that, as the basis of an innovation system, should be the key for the regional innovation centres. We use a case study of Slovakia to demonstrate how universities can boost the innovative potential and foster the economic success in the competitive and globalized world economy.

The complexity of the current crisis is a big challenge for sustainable development, in the context of several overlapping shocks generated by the Coronavirus disease, geostrategic conflict, energy breaches, and food security threats. An appropriate answer to address these issues is to create a new approach to sustainable growth based on the knowledge economy. At this point, related studies have referring to the knowledge triangle, the triple (quintuple) helix, smart specialization, and the knowledge-based economy. In this research, compared with other studies in the field, knowledge structures created on the foundation of the knowledge economy were designed to work together to generate synergy in a knowledge environment where the stakeholders are universities, technology providers, governments, local communities, and entrepreneurs. In this mechanism, innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship are the premises for increasing productivity and competitiveness, with a positive impact on smart growth and the standard of living.

“…Ресурсная стратификация вузов в данных условиях становится важнейшим фактором как усиления, так и сглаживания социально-экономической неравномерности развития территорий. Во многом это зависит от распределения по территории страны исторически сложившихся университетских центров как ведущих акторов «треугольника знаний», которые генерируют знания, реализуя образовательные программы и научные проекты; создают новые продукты, процессы и услуги, взаимодействуя с бизнесом и обществом (Унгер, Полт, 2017: 11;Cervantes, 2017), а также от реализуемой образовательной политики дифференциации вузов.…”

Higher education in the resource-type regions: Between the aims of departmental and regional development

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cost optimization policy in the mass higher education is an important area of current research. In fact, differentiation of goals and objectives of universities is being transformed under educational policy. An example is the implementation of some variation of the «excellence initiatives» that concentrate limited resources in a small group of privileged universities. Differentiation of universities became the most important feature of the Russian higher education reform in the early 2000s. Higher education institutions were ranked according to their status and public funding. This article examines two aspects, highlighted differently in current studies. The first aspect is the differentiation of universities by level, and their stratification. The second aspect is the localization of regional systems of higher education as a result of the territorial localization of demand for educational services. Resource stratification of universities is becoming an important factor in both strengthening and smoothing out the socioeconomic uneven development of territories. The aim of the article is to determine the place of higher education systems in the resource-type regions. We conducted a comparative analysis of the development of higher education systems in resource-type regions. We assume that the positions of the educational systems of the resource-type regions in the Russian higher education are weakening. Research findings demonstrate that the regional systems of higher education in resource-type regions were in a relatively worse position, with the location of the highstatus universities and the dynamics of the number of students as the main indicators. The resource stratification of universities is associated with the segmentation processes that push the most talented applicants out of the regions and trigger a negative selection of the population in terms of human capital stocks.
