REGIONAL ENGAGEMENT IN STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND ORERATIONAL ACTIVITIES OF TOP-RANKED FLEMISH UNIVERSITIES

REGIONAL ENGAGEMENT IN STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND ORERATIONAL ACTIVITIES OF TOP-RANKED FLEMISH UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

This article presents the findings of a research project undertaken during a research visit to Ghent University in Belgium, as part of the Eureast Platform Fellowship Program. Specifically, the study investigates the policies and practices of leading Flemish universities with regard to regional engagement, and reveals the directions of interaction between these institutions and stakeholders in the context of regional engagement. The research identifies regional engagement as a key element of the strategic vision of top-ranked Flemish universities. These institutions view the region, with its unique characteristics, challenges, and opportunities, as the driving force behind their innovative development and the foundation of their civic identity, educational quality, and research excellence. As such, most leading universities in Flanders focus their efforts on strategic goals such as stimulating research aimed at solving regional development issues, incorporating the regional context into their educational programs, and strengthening their civic engagement and presence within the region. The quality of scientific research in this context is largely related to the need to solve regional problems and create value added at each stage of the research process. Operational activities associated with regional engagement include measures to increase the availability and openness of educational and scientific resources for the wider community, the development of educational environments that integrate the latest scientific knowledge with the regional context, and the establishment of joint departments that carry out research aimed at addressing regional issues. The article also highlights the importance of knowledge exchange and the development of human potential within the community, as well as the creation of innovative regional ecosystems and platforms for interaction with regional stakeholders. It concludes by offering prospects for further research, specifically the need to develop the theoretical foundations of regional engagement for Ukrainian universities, including principles, regularities, organizational conditions, models, and other relevant factors, in order to strengthen their institutional capacity.

У статті проаналізовано політики та досвід провідних фламандських університетів щодо регіональної залученості. Визначено, що провідні університети Фландрії сконцентровують зусилля на досягненні таких стратегічних цілей, як стимулювання досліджень, спрямованих на вирішення проблем регіонального розвитку; залучення регіонального контексту в освітній процес; посилення позицій університету в регіоні як соціально відповідальної організації. Операційна діяльність у контексті регіональної залученості уособлюється у реалізації заходів із збільшення відкритості та доступності наукових ресурсів для представників громади; розбудові освітніх середовищ, до яких інкорпоровано регіональний контекст; діяльності спільних кафедр, які мають на меті здійснення регіонально значущих досліджень; поширенні й обміні знаннями, розвитку людського потенціалу представників громади та посиленні їхньої здатності до подолання проблем регіону; функціонуванні інноваційних регіональних екосистем; підтримці платформ взаємодії з регіональними стейкхолдерами; стимулюванні регіональної залученості університетської спільноти; наданні допомоги в реалізації регіональних ініціатив.
