Développer la formation doctorale et renforcer l'attractivité et la reconnaissance du doctorat par la société est un enjeu essentiel pour les universités. Si 60 % des docteurs effectuent leur carrière dans le secteur privé, il apparaît encore nécessaire de promouvoir auprès des entreprises et des services, les compétences transférables acquises pendant la thèse, au-delà des acquis disciplinaires et des savoirs.

A l’heure actuelle, la relation entre enseignement supérieur et collectivités locales connaît une mutation sans précédent : les collectivités investissent de plus en plus dans le développement des infrastructures de l’enseignement supérieur, et de leur côté les universités prennent pleinement conscience que leur vocation universelle ne peut s’affranchir d’une stratégie de développement concertée avec les acteurs économiques et politiques de leur territoire d’implantation.

The United States has long recognized that the nation’s prosperity and security depend on how we address challenges of disasters, poverty, famine, and disease around the world. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has played a vital role in promoting U.S. national and international interests by advancing strategies for employing science, technology, and innovation to respond to global challenges. The focus by USAID on science, technology, and innovation is critical to improve development outcomes. At the core of this progress is the engagement of science institutions and other innovative enterprises and their commitment to work in partnership with USAID to research, test, and scale solutions.

Attaining meaningful cybersecurity presents a broad societal challenge. Its complexity and the range of systems and sectors in which it is needed mean that successful approaches are necessarily multifaceted. Moreover, cybersecurity is a dynamic process involving human attackers who continue to adapt. Despite considerable investments of resources and intellect, cybersecurity continues to poses serious challenges to national security, business performance, and public well-being. Modern developments in computation, storage and connectivity to the Internet have brought into even sharper focus the need for a better understanding of the overall security of the systems we depend on.

Attending college in the United States, more than in any other nation, is a high-risk, high-reward proposition. To a growing extent, students are taking on debt and betting their financial futures on the hope that their gamble on college will pay off in the future.
U.S. taxpayers are making the same gamble—funding grants and loans to put college within reach of more Americans—based on the belief that college is good for both individual students and society. More...
The Expert Group underlines both successes and challenges in the paper and draws attention to “The established and respected status of Erasmus+ in Europe (and beyond) [which] comes with responsibilities for this programme. No other programme has such huge potential to shape academic exchanges – their content and their dimensionality. Consequently, Erasmus+ has the responsibility to address the major problems and challenges of Europe. Education, academic life, academic exchanges have never brought immediate solutions to urgent or long-term threats, but they have always paved the way towards successful and comprehensive long-term solutions.” More...
The 2017 PREDICT Key Facts Report provides a detailed analysis of the state of ICT R&D activities in the European Union. This is the tenth edition of a series that is published annually. Like the previous editions, an online version is available at: https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/predict. The PREDICT dataset 2017 is based on the latest data available from official sources (such as the Eurostat and OECD, National Accounts and R&D statistics). It also includes the novelty of backwards reconstruction of the series from 1995, which allows it to cover the period from 1995 to 2014. Therefore, it provides a long-term analysis of the EU ICT sector and its R&D, covering a whole cycle since the initial expansion years, the double recession that began in early 2008, and the most recent evolution up to 2014.
