C 6.1 Relations with industry and entrepreneurship in higher education can enhance quality and employability


Name	C 6.1 Relations with industry and entrepreneurship in higher education can enhance quality and employability
Description	Authors: Torbjørn Digernes, Kristin Wergeland Brekke In Norway, the Bologna process started in 2003 with the implementation of the Quality Reform. The Bologna process also influenced the strategy of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), emphasizing international quality in education and research in order to serve the needs of society. This article focuses on how entrepreneurship and industry relations can enhance the relevance of education and researcher training, including doctoral education, and the employability of graduates. Fragmentation between many small research environments is one of the challenges for the quality of Norwegian researcher education. In higher education, industry and other sectors there is a need for more personnel with research competence. NTNU meets these challenges in various ways, inter alia by stimulating the development of larger research groups and national cooperation in researcher education. The international mobility of researchers is also essential to the university’s quality development. No download button available?
