VII. DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION
7.8. Ideas for further research
Research avenues on institutional outcomes related to the concept of quality and its practice can be extended to other contexts, either JPs or different forms of HE activities. Other case studies of JPs could be carried out, for example, focusing on programmes in different fields of studies or cycles such as Bachelor or Doctoral programmes or JPs outside the EHEA. The study could extend to other forms and contexts of collaborative HE activities, e.g., changing from the current programme level to the institutional level such as the recent developments around the concept of “European Universities.” Further studies could also be carried out on HE developments in other parts of the world tracing initiatives of HE stakeholders that emanate from quality concerns and rising HE standards nationally and in the context of global competition. The transnational environment of institutional complexity and variations in HEIs’ responses to the complexities, forms of agencies and their impact on academic/organizational culture and practices including quality culture could be investigated.
