A public lecture by Peter Maassen, Deputy Head at the Department of Education at University of Oslo. Organized by the Higher Education Research Group (HERG).

About the lecture: Higher education's (HE) role in 'the knowledge-based society/economy' has received growing political attention around the world. The underlying assumption is that more complex and competitive socio-economic and technological global environments require rapid adaptations of national economies to shifting opportunities and constraints. HE is expected to play a central role in this adaptation, since, as the core (public) knowledge sector, it is assumed to link research and education effectively to the knowledge needs of society in general and the private sector in particular.
