Abstract
This book is the first in a series of three volumes reporting on the results of a comparative analysis of the academic profession in Europe and its responses to societal challenges. The analysis, which includes eight European countries (namely Austria, Croatia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Poland, Romania, and Switzerland), focuses on the question of how the profession is being shaped by changing conditions and contradictory expectations.
