Abstract

Changes in higher education systems over the last twenty years in Europe have been part of a global phenomenon. In the background has been the massification of higher education, but at the same time society has demanded an expansion of the research and social interaction roles of higher education institutions. This is also reflected in the actors that effect changes in the academic profession. This chapter presents a view on senior academics of the European perspective, and as evidence, comparative data from four European countries and the USA have been used. These data have been taken from the Changing Academic Profession (CAP)
survey and “The changing academic profession: the impact of globalisation, diversification and institutional reorganisation on academic work and employment conditions in Finland” (EUROAC-FIN).
