Abstract

For the academic profession research is the universal focus, and the universal definition for the development of the profession. Academic work is structured and organized around knowledge based disciplines and faculties. Beyond the academic organization every country has created peerless preconditions for academic organizations. In this chapter, we define the preconditions and peculiarities of academic work in Finnish higher education. The chapter presents an overview of the higher education system, the driving forces affecting the academic profession and its role in innovation.
