Linked to Trends IV project, co-author Sybille Reichert prepared a report for EUA, Research Strategy Development and Management at European Universities (2006), following the Trends IV findings that few institutions have developed institutional research strategies. The report focuses specifically on the internal and external issues which drive the development of research strategies in regards to issues such as promoting excellence, building partnerships with industry, recruiting top scientists and the scope and quality of research training.


Trends III: Progress towards the European Higher Education Area (2003)

Trends III report (2003), produced for the Graz Convention and Berlin Ministerial Conference, introduced into the Bologna debates the perspective of over 800 higher education institutions. This was achieved through gathering information from a questionnaire covering all aspects of the Bologna Process. The analysis of responses challenged many pre-conceived ideas about the progress of European higher education reform, and raised a number of questions and challenges of institutional relevance that merit further exploration.
