Studenteroprøret i København i 1968 startede med store demonstrationer på Frue Plads med krav om medbestemmelse over undervisning og fagindhold. Det førte til besættelse af en række af universitetets institutter og af rektor Mogens Fogs kontor, hvor billeder af studenter, der ryger rektors cigarer og drikker hans portvin, dominerede medierne. Der er imidlertid en anden del af studenteroprøret, som ikke fik samme opmærksomhed i medierne. Hvad skete der med kravene om at få en samfundskritisk og relevant uddannelse, der kunne aktivere de studerende? I bogen »1968 - studenteroprør og undervisningsrevolution« (Hansson 2018) har jeg forsøgt at vise, hvorledes de oprørske studenter fik gennemtvunget radikale ændringer i datidens autoritære undervisningssystem. Bogen viser, hvorledes studenteroprøret gennem aktioner og deltagelse i råd og nævn var i stand til at reformere eller måske snarere revolutionere den traditionelle universitetsundervisning med forelæsninger og individuel vejledning. Resultatet blev, at gruppearbejde, organiseret omkring projekter, hurtigt blev indført i en række studieordninger og allerede i 1972/73 også valgt af Undervisningsministeriet som pædagogisk model for de to nye universitetscentre, RUC og AUC. De hårde kampe forudsatte en konstant mobilisering af de studerende, en mobilisering, som det i længden ikke var muligt at fastholde. Langsomt mistede de studerende initiativet, og reformpolitikken gik tilbage til politikerne, den professionelle universitetsledelse og embedsværket i Undervisningsministeriet. Det betød, at de radikale reformer, som de aktionerende studenter havde tilkæmpet sig, blev begrænset og reformeret. Allerede i slutningen af 1970'erne begyndte også en langsom, men ret systematisk tilbagerulning af de demokratiske landvindinger, som de studerende havde fået med Styrelsesloven.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the failure of science parks to become a central actor in the knowledge economy and, with the help of new organizational theory, to propose new solutions.Design methodology approach - The paper reviews a number of recent studies of science parks and their effect on innovation and economic growth, measured by revenue or survival rate of new firms, but demonstrating no positive result of the parks. The paper then introduces modern organization theory, specializing in analyzing the processes of creating, managing, organizing, and transferring knowledge distributed through a number of networks and other volatile organizations in order to investigate the set-up of science parks in the knowledge economy.Findings - Using Nonaka's concept of ba as a metaphor for the new tradition in organizational theory, the paper finds very few - if any - signs of these new ways of organizing in traditional science parks. The paper argues that principles from modern knowledge organizations has to be installed in science parks if the parks are to regain the initiative and become an important actor in the new regime of knowledge production. Otherwise, science parks must be viewed as an outdated institution, left over from the industrial society.Practical implications - The paper proposes a system of certification and quality assessment that might speed up the change in science parks from organizations formed by the industrial society to organizations serving the needs of the knowledge society.Originality value - The paper is an original contribution to the theory of science parks and innovation policy. The use of new organizational theory on knowledge management, illustrated by Nonaka's concept of ba, presents a new solution to overcome the traditional thinking on how to organize science parks.

The paper discusses research leadership in public universities under change and the role of entrepreneurial strategies in research. Research leadership function today in situations where the New Public Management movement one the one hand have introduced management by accountability and control in the university while on the other hand open boundaries to other knowledge organizations, arenas and networks, and creation of resources are becoming more important than ever. Hence, an entrepreneurial strategy is more important than traditional managerial skills in order to produce new knowledge centres. By analysing two cases on the construction of new research groups, we will introduce new perspectives on research leadership, where dilemmas, uncertainty and complex relations to other managerial systems in the universities are in the forefront. The paper presents an important contribution to the understanding of a special form of creating new knowledge production in the university by means of organizational entrepreneurship.

Peer review of research programmes is changing. The problem is discussed through detailed study of a selection process to a call for collaborations in the energy sector for the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. The authors were involved in the application for a Knowledge Innovation Community. Through the analysis of the case the article discusses the role of researchers acting in their new role of reviewers in situations where a number of important decision-making dimensions are cut out from the formerly direct influence on the researcher's quality assessment. In connection with this discussion the article will provide input to a critical review of the use of quantified scaling developed to systematize a quality assessment on the top of the peer review-based assessments. In addition the article discusses the challenges to the peer review system in Mode 2 type science and in cross-disciplinary research collaborations. This is a contribution to the assessment of new roles of peer reviewers in large policy decision-making systems like research funding, and an input to further discussions.(HRK / Abstract übernommen).

This presentation outlines a theoretical analysis of the reproduction of labour power in contemporary capitalism. The starting point is the critique of political economy as developed by Marx, especially the analysis of the forms of reproduction in capitalism. As wage work (Lohnarbeit) is seen as the central determining aspect of reproduction, a short exercise is made outlining the dominant types of problems of reproduction connected with the two main types of capital accumulation in the theory by Marx: extensive and intensive. A short theoretical discussion of state intervention in the reproduction of labour power is given. The last part of the article is not an empirinal analysis but a demonstration of how the theoretical concepts in discussion make it possible to grasp the more fundamental changes in the structure of reproduction, and shows how to analyse the new and specific forms of appearance for the general contradictions in capitalism, making state policy more complicated but leaving the central relations in capital unchanged.
