Meek, V.L.,Teichler, U. and Kearney, M-L (Eds). Higher education, research and innovation: changing dynamics. Report on the UNESCO Forum on Higher Education, Research and Knowledge, 2001-2009. Kassel, Germany, INCHER, 2009. ISBN: 978-3-934377-10-3. Pages: 242.

This research report provides a synthesis of the main findings of the UNESCO Forum on higher education, research and knowledge from 2001 to 2009. It gathers researchers studying on systems for research and higher education, and facilitates access to front-line knowledge on higher education, research and innovation systems, with particular emphasis on low- and middle-income countries.

The report takes a meta-perspective; it aims to mirror the state of research and the range of public discourses on higher education, research and innovation systems. The studies gathered in this volume provide insights both for policy makers and the higher education community alike, as they address the main challenges facing research systems in a globalised world.
