Abstract
This opinion piece delves into the intricate challenges facing higher education in nanotechnology, particularly in Ukraine, a country currently embroiled in geopolitical unrest. Through a reflective lens, the article examines the complexities of preparing graduates for an uncertain job market while also considering the pressing national imperatives that demand specialized expertise. Beyond the Ukrainian context, the article escalates the discussion to a global scale, calling for an immediate yet thoughtful reassessment of how we approach specialized education in a rapidly changing world. The piece confronts uncomfortable questions and proposes calls to action for policymakers, educators, and the global community. By framing Ukraine’s struggle as indicative of a broader global challenge, it aims to catalyze meaningful discussions and reforms in how specialized higher education is approached and implemented worldwide.
期刊介绍：
Industry and Higher Education focuses on the multifaceted and complex relationships between higher education institutions and business and industry. It looks in detail at the processes and enactments of academia-business cooperation as well as examining the significance of that cooperation in wider contexts, such as regional development, entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems. While emphasizing the practical aspects of academia-business cooperation, IHE also locates practice in theoretical and research contexts, questioning received opinion and developing our understanding of what constitutes truly effective cooperation. Selected key topics Knowledge transfer - processes, mechanisms, successes and failures Research commercialization - from conception to product ''Graduate employability'' - definition, needs and methods Education for entrepreneurship - techniques, measurement and impact The role of the university in economic and social development The third mission and the entrepreneurial university Skills needs and the role of higher education Business-education partnerships for social and economic progress University-industry training and consultancy programmes Innovation networks and their role in furthering university-industry engagement
