This book presents the analysis of the representative survey about the
academic profession in twelve European countries. Higher education in
Europe has experienced a substantial change in recent years: Expansion
progresses further, the expectation to deliver useful contributions of
knowledge to the “knowledge society” is on the rise, and efforts
to steer academic work through external forces and strong
international management are more widespread than ever. Representative
surveys of the academic profession in twelve European countries show
how professors and junior staff at universities and other institutions
of higher education view the role of higher education in society and
their professional situation and how they actually shape their
professional tasks. Academics differ across Europe substantially in
their employment and working conditions, their views and their
activities. Most of them favour the preservation of a close link
between teaching and research and feel responsible for both theory and
practice. Most consider efforts to enhance academic quality and
social relevance as compatible. The overall satisfaction with their
professional situation is rather high.
