The Journal of Technology Transfer Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Two main trends or developments could be identified as leading toward a drastic change in the higher education sector. First, the rapid increase and importance of the industrialized and knowledge based sector led to a radical shift away from the Arts & Humanities towards all fields of the natural sciences, engineering and the emergence of new fields like management and finance. Secondly, globalization and the interrelatedness of markets and the increased competition for scarce resources, in particular knowledge and human capital. This special issue of the Journal of Technology Transfer is dedicated to these challenges and issues from a mostly European perspective.
