Relational regions ‘in the making’: institutionalizing new regional geographies of higher education

Abstract: This paper advances current debates on relational regions and higher education through a unique focus on the rise of transregional university alliances. We examine the formation of university research and training consortia to make a series of wider arguments about the new spatialities of higher education praxis, the construction of new regional identities, and processes of institutionalising relational regions. Our research shows new partnership working between universities to be conducive to the weakening of… Show more

“…The RIS concept has proved particularly influential in Europe where national (e.g. the creation of Higher Education Regional Associations in the U.K. in the late-1990s) and supranational policy frameworks (The European Commission's 'Smart Specialisation' framework) have provided strong governmental mandates to mobilise universities in regional territorial and economic development (Harrison, Smith, and Kinton, 2017;Foray, 2014). Significant attention has been paid to the opportunities and challenges of effectively leveraging national-level and European structural funds through 'triple helix' partnership between government, business, and HEIs (Foray, 2018;Pugh et al, 2018b;Uyarra, Marzocchi, and Sorvik, 2018).…”

“…878-879). Yet as the relational logics of regional innovation push against the entrenched spatial frames of American urban politics (Cox, 2010), decentralised institutional practices are producing a 'de facto' form of regionalism (see Harrison, Smith, and Kinton, 2017). This opens opportunities for HEIs to mobilise new structures that create novel, partially realised, terrains of engagement tentatively aligned with the dynamics of regional urbanisation (Soja, 2015).…”

“…que llegaban a tener asentamientos espaciales temporales (configuraban aglomeraciones territoriales circunstanciales a partir de conferencias, ferias, exhibiciones, congresos, etc.) (Amin & Roberts, 2008) (Harrison, Smith, & Kinton, 2017) (Maskell, Bathelt, & Malmberg, 2006) y hasta configuraciones espaciales generadas a partir de las denominadas relaciones de ciudad a ciudad (hermanamientos entre partes iguales) que promovían intercambios útiles (culturales o de capacitación para empresas o entre universidades o centros de transferencia) (Bontenbal, 2009). En el ámbito del desarrollo regional un fuerte impulso a estas nuevas configuraciones espaciales lo dio la literatura vinculada a la innovación y el aprendizaje que sugería que esas configuraciones podrían provenir de dinámicas no locales o distantes (Gertler, 2008) y por tanto deberían fomentarse prácticas que abran la dinámica de interacciones y conexiones hacia eventuales redes des-localizadas.…”
