Re-Structuring Higher Education and Scientific Innovation (RHESI): The consequences of changes in authority relations for the direction and organisation of research

该项目的目的是了解公共科学系统和高等教育系统的不断变化的治理如何改变科学创新的关键特征，特别是研究目标的选择以及结果的评估和整合。改变决定科学问题选择和结果评估的权威关系是各种政策倡议和治理改革影响科学知识生产的主要渠道。上述趋势改变了这些权威关系，增加了各种权威机构，如欧洲机构，国家科学和技术部，研究资助委员会，慈善机构，工业企业和公共研究组织，以及他们的能力和意愿，引导研究战略和知识发展。我们将通过比较分析不同国家的资助和治理改革如何改变科学领域的权威关系，研究这些变化对智力创新和不同学术体系中科学知识动态的影响。本CRP的中心目标是：1.了解欧洲不同的大学改革如何影响大学和其他公共研究机构的资源分配、绩效评估和就业实践模式;2.分析这些变化如何影响国家、欧洲机构、大学管理者、科学精英、资助机构和私营公司在不同欧洲大学体系中的研究方向和组织方面的相对权威。确定权力关系的这种转变影响下列方面的具体方式：a）不同科学领域知识创新的发展，B）为知识和公共政策目的而创造新的科学领域，以及c）跨大学和国家知识精英对研究目标和成果的整合。

The aim of this project is to find out how the changing governance of public science Systems and higher education Systems are altering key features of scientific innovation, particularly the selection of research goals and the evaluation and integration of results. Changes in the authority relationships governing the selection of scientific problems and assessment of results are the central channels through which the various policy initiatives and governance reforms affect the production of scientific knowledge. The trends described above have changed these authority relations by increasing both the variety of authoritative agencies involved, such as European agencies, state ministries of science and technology, research funding councils, charities, industrial enterprises and public research organisations, and their capacity and willingness to steer research strategies and knowledge development. We will study the consequences of these changes for intellectual innovation and the dynamics of scientific knowledge in different academic Systems by means of a comparative analysis of how funding and governance reforms in different countries are changing authority relations in scientific fields.The central objectives of this CRP are:1. To find out how different university reforms in Europe are affecting patterns of resource allocation, performance evaluation and employment practices in universities and other public research organisations;2. To analize how changes in these are affecting the relative authority of the state, European agencies, university managers, scientific elites, funding agencies and private companies over the direction and Organisation of research in different European university Systems,3. To ascertain the particular ways in which such shifts in authority relations are influencing: a) the development of intellectual innovations in different sciences, b) the creation of new scientific fields for intellectual and public policy purposes and, c) the integration of research goals and results by intellectual elites across universities and countries.
