Training needs for leadership and management professions in European Higher Education Institutions
Survey info
European higher education is going through a transition period in which a new relationship between society and higher education institutions is being developed. As part of this new relationship the leadership and management structures and functions of higher education institutions are expected to become more professional. For this professionalisation specific investments and actions are needed. This questionnaire is part of an EU-funded project aimed at supporting the professionalisation by creating an open European Platform as an instrument for the dissemination of good practices and joint actions with respect to institutional leadership and management in higher education. It is specifically aimed at identifying specific training needs higher education institutions in Europe have when it comes to their staff in leadership, management and administration functions.
MODERN – European Platform Higher Education Modernisation – is a three-year EU-funded project (2009-2011) under the Lifelong Learning Programme (ERASMUS), which aims to respond to the Modernisation Agenda of the European Union and to the need to invest in people, support future leaders and encourage the professionalisaion of higher education management (HEM) at all levels.
Under the leadership of ESMU (European Centre for Strategic Management of Universities) MODERN is a consortium of 10 core and 26 associate partners joining forces to provide a common answer to the fragmentation in the supply of management development programmes and of organizational support to HEIs, their leaders and managers.
Please answer the questions by ticking the respective boxes or using the text fields for other answers in writing. The questionnaire takes about 20 minutes to complete.
If you cannot or prefer not to answer a question, please just tick the box on the far right (“do not know”).
