By forming and providing ¿human capital¿ (education, consultancy, spin-offs) universities are main generators and transmitters of knowledge. Hence, they may considerably contribute to regional development. This is currently discussed in so-called `knowledge societies¿ but may be of major importance for developing countries when the impact of decentralised universities on the brain drain to the primate city/megacity and regional policy issues are concerned. There is an urgent need for impact studies of this kind in Africa. Taking decentralised universities in Cameroon as an example, the research project aims at analysing the regional commitment of the university¿s human capital and its contribution to regional learning processes, and, finally, at identifying opportunities for the `governance¿ of learning processes in favour of decentralised regional development.

通过形成和提供“人力资本”（教育、咨询、衍生产品），大学成为知识的主要创造者和传播者。因此，它们可以为区域发展做出巨大贡献。目前，这一问题正在所谓的“知识社会”中进行讨论，但当考虑到分散大学对人才流失到主要城市/特大城市的影响以及区域政策问题时，这对于发展中国家来说可能具有重大意义。非洲迫切需要进行此类影响研究。以喀麦隆的分权大学为例，该研究项目旨在分析大学人力资本的区域承诺及其对区域学习进程的贡献，并最终确定有利于分权区域发展的学习过程“治理”机会。
