This report is one of a series of six reports commissioned by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) which draw on a recent European Commission Framework Project, ‘The Flexible Professional in the Knowledge Society’ (the REFLEX project). This second report in the series describes some of the contextual differences in the higher education systems and economies of the countries which participated in the project. It includes information on the different histories and traditions of higher education, differences in current economic and political circumstances and differences in the role traditionally assigned to higher education in recruitment and preparation for the labour market.
