Artykuł zawiera analizę wynagrodzeń absolwentów rocznika 2014 polskich uczelni prowadzących studia na kierunkach ekonomicznych oraz wskazuje niektóre czynniki różnicujące ich wynagrodzenia. Analiza oparta jest na danych pochodzących z raportów generowanych w ramach „Ogólnopolskiego systemu monitorowania losów absolwentów szkół wyższych”. Dane te wskazują, że najwyższe wynagrodzenia uzyskują absolwenci uczelni ekonomicznych (zwłaszcza publicznych). Okazuje się też, że oferta studiów ekonomicznych ze strony innych typów uczelni, a w szczególności uczelni uniwersyteckich i techniczno-przyrodniczych (poza nielicznymi wyjątkami), nie odpowiada potrzebom rynku pracy, o czym świadczą relatywnie niskie wynagrodzenia uzyskiwane przez ich absolwentów.

The article contains an analysis of the remuneration received by the 2014 graduates of the Polish schools conducting economic education on tertiary level; it also indicates some factors responsible for wage differentiation observed among them. The analysis is based on the data taken from the reports generated in the framework of the “Polish system of monitoring the fates of college graduates”. The data indicate that the highest wages are obtained by the graduates of economic schools (notably public). It also turns out that economic courses offered by other types of schools, particularly general universities and technical or natural science schools (with few exceptions) do not match the needs of labour markets, as reflected in relatively low wages received by their graduates.

Статья содержит анализ величины заработной платы выпускников 2014 года экономических факультетов польских вузов и указывает на некоторые факторы, приводящие к дифференциации их доходов. Автор использовал информацию, содержащуюся в отчетах, генерируемых в рамках «Всепольской системы мониторинга судеб выпускников вузов». Эти данные указывают, что самую высокую заработную плату получают выпускники чисто экономических вузов (особенно государственных). Программы обучения экономическим специальностям, предлагаемые другими типами вузов, особенно университетов, а также технических и природоведческих вузов (кроме немногочисленных исключений), не отвечают потребностям рынка труда, о чем свидетельствуют относительно низкие зарплаты их выпускников.

Universities operate in a legal environment constituted by the external legal regulations, which – due to their universality – are not sufficient as they do not take into account the specific nature of schools. In order to make their activity coherent and well organised, universities create their own rules. The material used by the author to analyze the language of the university internal law acts are the statutes and regulations posted on the websites of the universities supervised by the minister responsible for higher education in Poland. Due to special nature of the analyzed material, its vocabulary is not very varied. A lot of space is occupied by elements typical for legal texts, such as function names or abbreviations used in the description of a legal act. The study included phenomena related to both word-formation and inflection, as well as orthography, i.e. the grammatical type and number of nouns, the tense of verbs, and the notation of certain forms characteristic of the university texts.

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the creation of university's potential for knowledge transfer to the business environment. The analysis will be presented in the system inspired by the model proposed by Tidd, Bessant and Pavitt [2005] which is as follows: (i) generating knowledge (ii) searching for and identifying knowledge, (iii) evaluating and selecting ides, (iv) implementing in practice. Each stage creates different challenges for the university's operations (also the final stage, which is not generally carried out by the university), which will be included in the analysis. The results of the theoretical analysis are referred to the results of the research concerning knowledge transfer practices among universities in Lodz. A total of thirty-five cases of knowledge transfer practices were included in the analysis. The analysis conducted in 2010 and 2011 covered types of practices, the initiative of carrying out practices, their duration, the nature of practices, their subject scope and impact as well as risks and benefits associated with implementing knowledge transfer practices. The preliminary exploration, interviews and innovation studies conducted indicate that the analysis covered a vast majority of such practices, which means that it is representative of the Lodz region.

Entrepreneurship constitutes one of the key competences and a significant element of todays’ university graduates’ professional training. Academia, in its didactic and educational process, offers numerous opportunities for shaping students’ entrepreneurial behaviours. A fundamental role in this respect is played by the scope of knowledge and skills offered, as well as by shaping proper attitudes in the course of professional internships, participation in student organisations and science club projects.The present study attempts to evaluate the university’s role in the process of shaping entrepreneurial attitudes of students representing the selected universities in Lublin. Respondents’ opinions, collected by means of a diagnostic poll method and a survey, were analysed. The paper verified the thesis regarding insufficient outcomes of education in developing entrepreneurial competences of students from selected universities.

Traditional mission of a university includes two elements: research and teaching by making reference to the state-of-the-art cognitive content. A third, new element of the mission is their direct public service. In recent years we have been stressing the role of higher education institutions in the shaping of social and economic reality, where active involvement in development processes of regions and countries are a challenge. The paper discusses educational policy of universities in the context of needs and expectations of the economy, especially of local production systems. Theoretical considerations are the point of departure for the presentation of the results of studies conducted under the Project “Policy and tools of creating human capital in the region” in higher education institutions in the Lodz Region. The market of educational services evolves dynamically and, as a result of overlapping external and internal conditions, the latest 20 years provoked revolutionary changes also in the universities in the Lodz Region. On the one hand, universities seek their own, individual development paths, diversify their educational offer to be competitive and, on the other hand, they start cooperating with one another and with the external world both in the area of education and research. That initiates or enhances economic cooperation and the development of network relations through, inter alia, developing and supporting territorial forms of cooperation, e.g., LPS, various types of economic collaboration, improved communication and integration between economic circles and educational institutions.

Public universities in the Czech Republic register every year hundreds of internally generated patents for inventions, utility models or industrial designs, prototypes or functional. Internally generated intangible assets are the subject of evaluation and accounting. As such, it should be recorded in the balance sheet of the entity in the category of intangible assets and depreciated progressively. The aim of this work is to determine whether the internally generated intangible assets are recognized in the balance sheets of universities. Executed comparison of the research' results of universities reported to the Council for Research, Development and Innovation with the balance sheet of universities in 2011, it was found that 95% of universities does not show in their balance sheets internally generated intangible assets, which are however presented to the Council for research, development and innovation as the research results of public universities. It is evident, that public universities dispose with large amount of intangible assets whose existence is not declared in the nancial statements. Their accounting doesn't provide the true picture of the assets of these economic entities.

This article reflects on working in eight universities in Finland, Sweden, and the UK, along with many transnational research projects. These are analysed within the framework of what might be called neoliberal universities, neoliberal trans(national)patriarchies, and neoliberal masculinities. Importantly, these are reflections from the global North, being transnationally located there, rather than glossed as ‘global’ or simply assumed as nationally contextualised. This discussion is located within the burgeoning literature on neoliberalism, and then proceeds to examine, first, experiences in the UK, before those in Finland and Sweden. The final section focuses on the transnationalisation of these neoliberal processes in academia – for example, through transnational research development, projectisation of research, and language use, performance and performativity. In such ways multiple connections are drawn between the greater organisational ‘autonomy’ of universities, contradictions of transnationalisations of academia, and the construction of ‘autonomous’ individual(ist) academics.

Over the years scholars, politicians, economists and others have recognized that no country could achieve economic growth and development without an efficient educational system. Functional education plays a central role in preparing individuals to become the labour force and in the same time to respect the environment in order to use efficiently the resources. It is said that from immemorial times, education was the one who offered solutions to various problems, but also generated a lot of controversies in the evolution of the world. Thus, in the case of a crisis, the education must be studied from at least two points of view. When speaking about crisis, first we must pose a question whether education is only a victim of the crisis or it may be a cause or a part of the solution needed to exit from the crisis. Starting from such a question, this paper aims to emphasize the existing connection between economic crisis and the contemporary education. The paper starts by using a retrospective and contrastive analysis, based on methodological pillars such as: filiations of ideas, genesis, and statistics. Using quantitative and also qualitative methods, the paper focuses on the way of functioning of the Romanian educational system and offers suggestions  how to improve it.

The aim of this article is to analyse appropriateness and adequacy of use of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in several research papers dealing with effectiveness of economy of universities. The Data Envelopment Analysis is an interesting method used for evaluation of technical efficiency of production units. Comparison is the basic method of this article. At the beginning, basic methodological questions of measurement and evaluation of efficiency are analysed, including definitions of terms efficiency and effectiveness, ways of measurement and formulation of appropriate indicators. Based on the given perquisites for measurement and evaluation of efficiency five articles on evaluation of efficiency of universities using DEA method, published in Canada, Australia, Great Britain, Germany and Spain in 1998 - 2008, will be assessed. DEA is able to use more parameters of input and output to evaluate which of units under examination is the most effective, and to compare other units with it. For this, it is necessary to have a homogenous group of units. The result of assessment shows that all the examined studies focused rather on way of calculation then the point and reason of measurement. The articles contain a discussion concerning choice of appropriate indicators but do not at all deal with the issue of its construction using interventional logic; the articles do not contain any comparison of objectives of the particular universities. Evaluation of efficiency of universities is a social construct and it will always be a subjective matter related to objectives of a particular stakeholder. This fact explains how to approach the evaluation of efficiency: it is necessary to set an objective function that means to set the objectives of a given stakeholder and his preferred results and outputs. All the studies lack this basic logic.

The subject of digitization of universities, online classes and courses, as well as studying via the Internet, has become very urgent and popular due to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic. This forced the implementation or development of appropriate remote learning systems at all universities. There are many doubts and questions concerning not only the organisation of distance learning, but also the quality of verification of learning outcomes; availability of teaching materials; technical skills of students and teachers using ICT tools; access to training and equipment; financial, mental and psychological difficulties, etc. The aim of the article is to analyse the challenges faced by universities that have gone remote during pandemic. The article in its main part consists of three elements: theoretical insight into the problems of distance education, difficulties and challenges concerning the organization of remote studying in universities and the evaluation of students of distance classes. This is the empirical part of the work. The research covered the issues of education using the methods and techniques of distance learning during the coronavirus pandemic. The research was conducted using the diagnostic survey method, survey technique, using a questionnaire. In the second part of the analysis the data found were used.

The issues concerning the conferment of the title of Professor regulated by the law on academic degrees and academic titles covered a period of twenty-five years. This is much shorter than subjecting proceedings in this area to the law on higher education for the past forty-five years. It is not without reason that during the seventy years (1920–1990) covered by both parts of the study issues related to the conferring the title of professor were subject to significant changes, in accordance with the changing legal and factual reality of the People’s Republic, the Polish People’s Republic, and the Republic of Poland. The 1965 Act on Academic Degrees and Scientific Titles undoubtedly differed from the legislation in force in the People’s Republic and in the first years of the Polish People’s Republic. Its unquestioned advantage was: (1) a limited number of academic titles of professor, restricted to extraordinary and ordinary professor, (2) identified fields of science in which these titles could be awarded, and (3) a gradual simplification of the procedure for applying for the award of the academic title to a candidate in universities, scientific institutions of the Polish Academy of Sciences and research institutes. Although in this respect, the provisions of the Act of 1965 together with the secondary legislation issued on its basis were subject to amendments, as a rule they were limited to clarifying the legal solutions adopted earlier, or to increasing the requirements imposed on candidates for the title of professor, except for candidates not possessing a degree or a scientific title, subject to a separate legal regime dictated by exceptional cases. The wider scope of changes concerned the procedure for presenting to the Prime Minister by competent ministers and the Scientific Secretariat of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) candidates for the academic title and the requirements related to the obligation put on these bodies to seek the opinion of the General Council for Higher Education, the Central Qualification Commission, or competent Higher Education Councils in the scope of a relevant science.

Facing turmoil and continuous stunning, local governing bodies, decision makers and local actors, in most of cases found the most stable solution has been the regional cooperation and particularly that of increasing and strengthening local human resources capacities at a regional level. Trying to increase competiveness, local systems understand more and more the importance of being flexible, on the frame of a sustainable strategic planning. Local infrastructure and interaction of all local factors and actors, at any time, must consider their development following a wider regional prospective. Important evolutions in the education area, mainly in higher education, gave breath to outstanding improvements in the capacities to develop qualified human resources, matching needs from local developments. While achieving standardized didactic tools at a Mediterranean and furthermore, EU level, they become able to deliver internationally recognized knowledge and capacities, improving so at a general level. human resources among countries with different socio-economic level. At the same time, these developments spread quickly the culture of interaction and collaboration among local actors. This also makes possible knowledge and expertise transfer from excellence center and universities toward local public administration and other local stake holders or public, and increases cooperation standardizing practices according to EU requirements. Local issues need local solutions, but this at no case must cause localization or isolation, all those developments must be conceptualized, oriented and managed in a wider prospective, specific needs must have specific answers, and universities are the best in doing this.

The article discusses the idea of universities for children, particularly its foundation by Maria Skłodowska-Curie and the current condition of this initiative. Maria Skłodowska-Curie was not only an excellent scientist, but also a great teacher and an educational innovator. She was the first to show that university may be a great place for children to learn. She emphasised that universities should be responsible not only for teaching but also for students’ flourishing. Modern universities seem to draw on this inspiring idea developed by Skłodowska-Curie. The author describes how the Maria Skłodowska-Curie cooperative changed as well as how the idea evolved into the university for children as it is recognised today.
