Abstract

Economic and regional development and rapid, often unpredictable changes across the globe in technical fields have an effect on everything, including universities, training, research and services as well. Universities must find their place in this continuously changing environment, they need to continuously reinterpret themselves and their own roles, whilst ensuring that education and knowledge transfer take priority. The pace of change is increasingly accelerating with technological novelties and innovations by high-tech industries surpassing themselves at an astounding rate. Therefore, knowledge, as the facilitator and creator of these results, plays an increasingly important role for those who wish to rank among the winners of the competition both locally and globally. Today, the primary creators of knowledge are still educational institutions, and universities are the fundamental platforms of research. However, it is not enough to be «only» a university, they must educate and research and become part of the developed world alongside participants who would like to provide scientific answers to practical problems. In our paper we address the question of breaking points along which the role of universities can be transformed in order to remain open to the needs of both their narrower and wider environment while maintaining their fundamental mission, thus becoming successful players on the global stage. The development of high-tech industries has resulted in a science-driven period when economic development is unimaginable without the scientific results and the interconnection of individual disciplines. This development will presumably lead to the deterioration of certain individual knowledge and the deepening of others. Higher education must also adapt to this with the development of an education system that strengthens digital skills and serves regional expectations. Nowadays entrepreneurial universities have emerged, which are able to operate with an entrepreneurial approach, thereby responding independently to challenges from outside. The ability to co-operate must be a key aspect of university existence, and the deepening of educational, research and business partnerships is a prerequisite for success. In order to spread management approach and create an entrepreneurial ecosystem, successful R&D work and innovation, it is also necessary to involve external, tender resources and grants, besides own resources. However, these resources need to be used well, but the lack of a pre-planned, conscious strategy results in less efficient use. Regional cooperation, common thinking, training and innovation, science workshops and science parks all contribute to the development of institutions and related regions.

全球社会经济变化对大学区域作用的影响
经济和区域发展以及全球技术领域的快速、往往不可预测的变化对一切都有影响,包括大学、培训、研究和服务。大学必须在这个不断变化的环境中找到自己的位置,他们需要不断地重新解释自己和自己的角色,同时确保教育和知识转移优先。随着高科技产业的技术创新以惊人的速度超越自己,变革的步伐越来越快。因此,知识作为这些结果的促进者和创造者,对于那些希望在本地和全球竞争中名列前茅的人来说,发挥着越来越重要的作用。今天,知识的主要创造者仍然是教育机构,大学是研究的基本平台。然而,仅仅是一所大学是不够的,他们必须进行教育和研究,与希望为实际问题提供科学答案的参与者一起成为发达世界的一部分。在我们的论文中,我们讨论了大学角色转变的临界点问题,以便在保持其基本使命的同时,保持对更窄和更宽环境的需求的开放,从而在全球舞台上成为成功的参与者。高科技产业的发展导致了一个科学驱动的时期,如果没有科学成果和各个学科的相互联系,经济发展是不可想象的。这种发展可能会导致某些个人知识的退化和其他知识的深化。高等教育也必须适应这一点,发展一个加强数字技能并满足地区期望的教育系统。如今,创业型大学已经出现,它们能够以创业的方式运作,从而独立应对外部挑战。合作能力必须是大学生存的一个关键方面,而深化教育、研究和商业伙伴关系是成功的先决条件。为了推广管理方法,创造创业生态系统,成功的研发工作和创新,除了自身资源外,还需要涉及外部、招标资源和赠款。然而,这些资源需要得到很好的利用,但缺乏预先规划的、有意识的战略导致使用效率较低。区域合作、共同思考、培训和创新、科学研讨会和科技园区都有助于机构和相关区域的发展。
