Universities of Applied Sciences as Regional Powerhouses – New UIIN Magazine Out Now!

Editing, proofreading, and designing. This is what our last view weeks looked like in order to create the new UIIN Magazine for you. And here is what we want all the UIIM readers to know. We are very happy with the end result. However, don’t just take our word for it. Find out for yourself!

In this round, we focused on highlighting successful engagement experiences taking place at universities of applied sciences in Europe as regional powerhouses. Through this magazine issue, we intend to discuss their crucial role as intermediaries between higher education, vocational education, and the labor market.

Our guest authors from Switzerland and Germany put emphasis on the key function of the universities of applied sciences within their national and regional higher education systems. The contributions from the Netherlands and Austria draw attention to efforts in facilitating joint research and education with industry through adaptations in both physical space and institutional strategies. Whilst the institutions from Finland and Belgium underline the importance of finding synergies among stakeholders for curricular innovation, a more holistic perspective is provided through the presentation of recent research results on the topic of university-industry joint publications from Valencia, and a guest presence of Chilean entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Of course, this just is a short summary of what to expect. However, we hope these articles serve as an inspiration to many and resonate globally regardless of the size, nature, and location of your institutions.

All that is left now, is to collect your UIIN Magazine on our website. Curious about the past editions? You will be able to view all of the previous UIIN Magazines on our website.
