| Abstract: | The economical model of European universities strongly differs from the business-oriented American model. In Europe the state is the main provider of funds and gives strong guidelines to the university to fulfil its mission. At the same time, there is much less competition among universities. This means that the driving force toward the use of new technologies strongly differs. We will show through examples from different countries how this situation influences the approach in the use of new technologies. | |
