Inhalt: "A study funded by the European Commission, relating to gender specific differences in learning achievements, shows among other things that whilst gender equality is a hot topic in many countries a general equality policy is not always advocated. More importantly, measures to reduce gender differences in achievement seem to focus primarily on the underachievement of boys. In this publication, historical aspects and current trends within 12 European countries, regarding gender equality in education are presented and compared. The country studies and comparative analysis will inform and inspire everybody who is interested in gender issues in education." (publisher's description).

Inhalt: "Demographic change in Europe has been a topic of great public and political interest since the 1990s. The central aim of this book is to create new questions for research by connecting the topics of demographic change, of the restructuring of the welfare state and of change in gender relations. The articles have a closer look at the interrelation of these social and political changes by highlighting different national situations as well as different theoretical and empirical aspects. They try to reframe the 'problem' of demographic change by analyzing it in the context of gender and welfare state transformations." (author's abstract).

Inhalt: "Mit dem Bologna-Prozess ist Bewegung in die deutsche und europäische Hochschullandschaft gekommen. Die Modularisierungsprozesse und Zertifizierungsverfahren sind angelaufen und haben sich - ebenso wie die interessierte Öffentlichkeit - vor allem auf die Fragen der Bachelor- und Masterabschlüsse konzentriert. Relativ wenig Beachtung hat bisher die Promotionsphase und die Förderung des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses gefunden, obwohl die Gestaltung der Doktorandenausbildung eine zentrale Aufgabe der Universitäten ist und ihnen hierbei ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal zukommt. Die Promotionsphase stellt die wesentliche Verbindung zur Forschungslandschaft dar. Bei aller Verschiedenheit im europäischen Kontext ist sie der Schlüssel für die Entwicklung einer wissensbasierten Gesellschaft. Dies kommt auch in den Bestrebungen zum Ausdruck, einen gemeinsamen europäischen Forschungs- und Hochschulraum zu schaffen, wie es auf den Regierungskonferenzen der Europäischen Union beschlossen wurde. Die einzelnen Beiträge dieses Bandes geben eine Übersicht zur deutschen und europäischen Situation der Doktorandenausbildung und stellen neben Erfahrungsberichten aus der Praxis der Doktorandenförderung die wichtigsten Positionen der Wissenschaftsorganisationen dar. Sie werden durch wissenschaftliche Analysen aus Sicht der Hochschuldidaktik und der Hochschulforschung ergänzt." (Autorenreferat).

Inhalt: "The international mobility of students has considerably gained ground as a major policy in Europe over the last decades. As a result of the heightened political importance attached to international mobility, and the manifold practical attempts to increase it, there is an enhanced need for comprehensive, up-to-date, and reliable information on the phenomenon: statistical data on mobility are needed to measure progress - or otherwise - towards the various mobility goals and thus to inform the political actors of the impact of the programmes and other measures launched. However, data measuring real mobility (as opposed to foreign nationality) is not always available and is rarely sufficiently differentiated. This publication has therefore a double objective. First, it investigates which data on international mobility are being compiled and made available and which are not, both at the international, the national and the programme level. Second, this study presents in one volume the student mobility data identified, and - based on an analysis of these data - it tries to depict a picture of the main trends in international student mobility into and out of 32 European countries. Next to analysing and presenting the availability and quality of data on international student mobility, this report also makes recommendations for the improvement of student mobility statistics both at national and international level."
