The number of of demands on and requirements of univesities from various sectors in society hav enot only grown in number but are also changing more quickly.

Furthermore it has important implications for study programmes and curricula, which need to provide not only knowledge in relevant scientific disciplines but also trianing in abilities or skills required in working-life.
