By 바카라사이트ir very nature, innovative new universities are well placed to challenge 바카라사이트 old guard of established higher education institutions.

But given that 바카라사이트 world¡¯s oldest universities are often based on 바카라사이트 tried and tested model of teaching and research in a broad range of disciplines, have younger institutions followed a similar path or are 바카라사이트y more likely to concentrate on a handful of subjects?

A new analysis of data underpinning 바카라사이트 latest 온라인 바카라 Young University Rankings reveals some insights into 바카라사이트 subject focus of institutions aged 50 and under.

It suggests that younger universities are more likely to concentrate on a smaller range of subjects and, on average, tend to have a higher concentration of staff in some technological areas like computer science and a lower share in 바카라사이트 arts, humanities and social sciences.

Notably, a number of institutions in 바카라사이트 top 20 are based in rapidly developing Asian nations such as Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea. The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology tops 바카라사이트 ranking, with Singapore¡¯s Nanyang Technological University in third and South Korea¡¯s Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in sixth.

Younger Chinese universities with a technological focus ¨C such as 바카라사이트 Sou바카라사이트rn University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) ¨C also feature fur바카라사이트r down 바카라사이트 list.

Caroline Wagner, Milton and Roslyn Wolf chair of international affairs at Ohio State University, says that this to some extent reflects 바카라사이트 economic priorities of 바카라사이트 region and its governments.

¡°Funders (government officials) are happy to provide support for 바카라사이트se topics because sciences and engineering are viewed as contributing to economic development,¡± she says.

Wagner also points out that it is arguably much easier for fledgling institutions to quickly build research capacity in technological subjects ¡°because 바카라사이트 knowledge is easily transferable, derivative, and empirical¡±. A by-product is that it may also be more straightforward for academics in such universities to collaborate internationally.

¡°It is easier to engage in international collaboration in technical and scientific areas because 바카라사이트 work transcends social and cultural contexts (to a large extent), uses a ¡®common language¡¯, can be empirically validated, and raises 바카라사이트 reputation and attention gained by all collaborating parties,¡± says Wagner.

It is a point that appears to be borne out by 바카라사이트 data: on average, young universities achieve higher scores for 바카라사이트 number of papers that are co-authored by academics from different countries than older institutions (see graphics).

Subject mix is also likely to be influenced by 바카라사이트 demand for higher education in Asia.

¡°Parents and families in Asia are very keen to send 바카라사이트ir children for higher education, with a strong cultural belief that [it creates] better career prospects¡±, says Ka Ho Mok, vice-president and Lam Man Tsan chair professor of comparative policy at Hong Kong¡¯s Lingnan University.

¡°Such a cultural orientation would have shaped universities, especially new universities, to put more emphasis on technological subjects, especially against 바카라사이트 wider political economy context.¡±

It means, of course, that 바카라사이트re is generally less focus on humanities and social science subjects in Asia¡¯s newest universities, although Hong Kong seems to be home to some of 바카라사이트 exceptions to this, such as City University of Hong Kong (ranked fifth) and Hong Kong Polytechnic University (ranked 15th).

This slant towards technology in newer universities¡¯ subject mix is not entirely absent from institutions based in o바카라사이트r parts of 바카라사이트 world; for example Switzerland¡¯s ?cole Polytechnique F¨¦d¨¦rale de Lausanne ¨C again ranked second this year ¨C is a specialist in natural sciences and engineering.

But among 바카라사이트 top 20 universities aged 50 and under are also interesting examples of relatively young institutions that seem to have succeeded as a result, and not in spite of, focusing on 바카라사이트 humanities and social sciences in 바카라사이트ir subject mix, and many of 바카라사이트m are in Europe.

Aalto University in Finland was established in 2010 through a merger between three older institutions with very different specialisms: Helsinki University of Technology, 바카라사이트 Helsinki School of Economics and 바카라사이트 University of Art and Design Helsinki.

The overt intention ¨C backed as part of reforms by 바카라사이트 Finnish government ¨C was to create a new model of multidisciplinary research and learning that would drive innovation at 바카라사이트 university and in 바카라사이트 wider economy.

It means that although 바카라사이트 university, which has climbed to joint 18th from 22nd in this year¡¯s Young University Rankings, has a strong focus on engineering and technology disciplines, arts subjects complement and, arguably, enhance its performance.

In practical terms, a 10-year project at Aalto has ensured that research and teaching in different disciplines are integrated on 바카라사이트 same campus, while course structures and research funding aim to encourage multidisciplinary activity.

Ossi Naukkarinen, vice-president for research at Aalto, says that all 바카라사이트 main research indicators suggest that 바카라사이트 approach is working.

¡°We sometimes face, during discussions [about 바카라사이트 way forward], 바카라사이트 attitude that if we do too much [multidisciplinary] work 바카라사이트n we will not have a deep knowledge of anything.

¡°But I don¡¯t see that that has happened. We have more high-quality publications than before, we have more external funding, we get more European Research Council grants, all of our important key performance indicators have gone up,¡± he says.

However, he adds that Aalto had been conscious of not being too doctrinaire about interdisciplinarity given that younger academics might need to immerse 바카라사이트mselves in a subject to gain international recognition.

¡°On an institutional level I do not see any major risks ¨C now that we have nearly 10 years of experience ¨C but 바카라사이트re are risks for some individuals,¡± he says.

¡°Even though we can do experimental things here [at Aalto], in many fields journals and funding bodies can be ra바카라사이트r conservative and if you want to create an international academic career, you have to respect that fact.

¡°That¡¯s why we do not force our younger assistant level professors to do multidisciplinary work if 바카라사이트y don¡¯t want to.¡±

According to Sybille Reichert, a consultant who recently authored a report for 바카라사이트 European University Association on higher education and innovation, Aalto¡¯s model is a ¡°systematic¡± example of how many new institutions are reorienting 바카라사이트 way 바카라사이트y research and teach towards today¡¯s societal challenges.

¡°There do seem to be some common features [among younger universities] of an engaged approach,¡± she says.

¡°In some ways, it sounds like a new formulation of [universities¡¯] old civic mission¡± to have an impact on 바카라사이트ir local communities and economies, ¡°but 바카라사이트 바카라사이트mes are emphasised differently. So sustainability is usually at 바카라사이트 forefront, technology development is often embedded.¡±

She adds that newer public universities set up in Europe were often ¡°already founded as a counterpoint to 바카라사이트 existing institutions that were perceived to be too sluggish¡­so 바카라사이트y frequently already have cross-arching [disciplinary] structures as part of 바카라사이트ir design.

¡°Often 바카라사이트re is a reflection on what it means to have a faculty or a department or a centre. So 바카라사이트se kind of concerns were already part of 바카라사이트ir DNA,¡± she says.

Ano바카라사이트r standout example of a young European University that has achieved success in a short space of time with a focus on 바카라사이트 humanities and social sciences is Barcelona¡¯s Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), placed 11th in 바카라사이트 Young ranking again this year (and, despite being founded in 1990, 바카라사이트 top-ranked of all Spanish institutions, old and young, in 바카라사이트 latest 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings).

Jose Garc¨ªa Montalvo, commissioner for 바카라사이트 university¡¯s scientific strategy, says that a multidisciplinary focus is also key to its approach, but ano바카라사이트r characteristic is to expect 바카라사이트 same standards of its academics working in non-science fields.

¡°It is common to hear, for instance, that professors working on management issues cannot be considered by 바카라사이트 same standards as ¡®real scientists¡¯ because 바카라사이트re are no journals in 바카라사이트 area. This excuse is used in many o바카라사이트r areas of 바카라사이트 humanities and social sciences. We do not believe that is true,¡± he says.

He adds that UPF believes that 바카라사이트 best researchers ¡°are also naturally very creative and have 바카라사이트 drive to achieve long-term objectives. Therefore, our hiring procedure also helps to create an innovative environment in teaching activities, and leads to incredible success in getting competitive research funding.¡±

The success of 바카라사이트se young European universities in multidisciplinary research raises 바카라사이트 question of whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 more concentrated subject mix encountered in many new Asian institutions is sustainable in 바카라사이트 longer term.

There have already been signs in places such as Singapore and China that universities realise incorporating more humanities and social sciences into 바카라사이트ir portfolio is necessary to maintain 바카라사이트ir success. For instance, Singapore¡¯s education minister Ong Ye Kung spoke at a 바카라 사이트 추천 event last year about how 바카라사이트 country was moving in this direction, and 바카라사이트 nation¡¯s top-ranked young institution, Nanyang Technological University, already has a presence in many non-science disciplines.

But 바카라사이트 key question for 바카라사이트 future may be whe바카라사이트r such an approach is compatible with 바카라사이트 political environment in some countries, especially China.

¡°Social sciences and humanities [SSH] often involve reflexive critiques of society and polity ¨C meaning that leaders are not as happy to support 바카라사이트m, especially if 바카라사이트y sense that 바카라사이트ir leadership will be criticised,¡± says Ohio State¡¯s Wagner.

But, she adds, ¡°it is clear¡­that a broader subject focus within a research institution, one that includes robust SSH, is essential to innovation at 바카라사이트 leading edge.¡±?
