    Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Hochschulforschung 2027

    Hochschulen in der Demokratie - Wissenschaftlicher Anspruch und gesellschaftliche Verantwortung

    Organiser: Gesellschaft für Hochschulforschung (GfHf); Universität Klagenfurt

    Wie können Hochschulen ihren wis­sen­schaft­li­chen Anspruch wahren und zugleich gesell­schaft­li­che Verantwortung über­neh­men? Die Jahrestagung 2027 lädt zur gemein­sa­men Analyse, Selbstreflexion und Diskussion an die Universität Klagenfurt ein.

    In Zeiten zuneh­men­der Polarisierung, erstar­ken­den Populismus und wach­sen­der Anfeindungen gegenüber Wissenschaft wird das Verhältnis von Hochschule und Demokratie brüchiger – und damit neu erklä­rungs- und gestaltungsbedürftig.

    Die Tagung fragt nach den insti­tu­tio­nel­len, struk­tu­rel­len und indi­vi­du­el­len Voraussetzungen, unter denen Hochschulen wis­sen­schaft­li­che Qualität sichern, demo­kra­ti­sche Kulturen stärken und gesell­schaft­li­che Verantwortung über­neh­men können. Dazu gehören chan­cen­ge­rech­te Zugänge zur Hochschulbildung ebenso wie der Schutz aka­de­mi­scher Freiheit, demo­kra­ti­sche Governance, Wissenschaftskommunikation und poli­ti­sche Bildung.

    Am 17.03.2027 findet der HoFoNa-Tag statt. Am 18.03.2027 beginnt die Haupttagung; am Abend folgen die Mitgliederversammlung sowie die Verleihung des Ulrich-Teichler-Preises.

    Learning Across Continents: Conversations in a divided world

    VETNET

    Topics:

    • How do we understand the role of VET in preparing young people for work when labour markets and workplaces are in flux nationally and internationally?
    • Is this changing the nature of VET and VET curricula? Is it raising new questions on work, labour markets and education? What is core to VET that is stable across different contexts?
    • Are systems looking more similar or more different from each other?
    • What are the main factors—such as workplace organisation, changing labour markets, changing enrolment in schools and universities, and the nature of economies that are influencing different aspects of VET provision—such as curriculum, governance, partnerships, enrollment patterns—in different countries?
    • How do we connect better as researchers, and use VET research to build connection?

    Embracing Diversity in Vocational Education and Training (VET)

    Umeå University

    Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the Nordic countries is shaped by strong welfare traditions, close relationships between education and working life, and longstanding ambitions of equality, inclusion and high‑quality education for all. Nevertheless, Nordic VET systems display substantial variation and complexity, influenced by social, demographic, pedagogical and structural differences across countries, regions, institutions and vocational fields. The 2027 NORDYRK conference Embracing Diversity in VET invites researchers, practitioners and policymakers to explore how such diversity shapes the conditions, opportunities and challenges of VET.   The Call for abstracts opens on November 11, 2026 and closes on January 31, 2027. Registration is required.
