Swyddogaeth Prifysgolion Yn Yr Economi Fodern

In a fascinating critique of the role of contemporary higher education, Professor Deian Hopkin examines the function of universities in regenerating their local economies and stimulating enterprise. Within the wider UK, European and global contexts, he examines the prospects facing universities in Wales and the realistic options available to them to meet the challenges of the coming decade. Of four identities open to universities in the modern age he states that Welsh universities must become entrepreneurial in their outlook. Published in association with the Institute of Welsh Affairs (the IWA), the premier think-tank in Wales established to drive forward the policy agenda in Wales, the book is bilingual with facing page translation in Welsh.
