Academic control is attenuating by businesses and community interests in universities among EU members

Please describe the Weak Signal (approx. 150 words)

At an institution level, reform is evident in the reduction of direct political influence and the attenuation of academic control by business and community interests within university governing bodies. University management teams are emerging as real executives with significant strategic and management autonomy, and a process of marketisation and professionalisation is evident across key functions from human resources to external relations.
