In particular, Valmeerkanathan et al connects different areas within higher education with a knowledge transfer platform.…”

Platforms have determined the interaction and actions of many players for years. They have established themselves as leading business models in both the business-tobusiness and business-to-customer sectors. But not only companies use platforms. Increasingly, universities are also using platform models to generate value. This article uses a systematic literature review to examine 1289 publications in this area and classifies them in a concept matrix of the use of platforms in higher education to date. It shows that some areas of universities use platforms and platform ecosystems. The area of teaching benefits greatly from Massive Open Online Courses, which are provided on well-known platforms. Other areas, such as transfer or research, are underrepresented.

“…Higher education collaborations -such as strategic alliances, joint ventures, university collaborations, partnerships or mergers --provide an opportunity to solve challenging issues by conferring resources, knowledge, and skills, leveraging structure and support (Eddy, 2010;Pinheiro et al, 2016;Valmeekanathan et al, 2021) of involved partners to achieve common objectives. These collaborations in higher education take place in many forms, such as between or among institutions as a whole, as departmental collaborations across institutions, or as university programs that join forces with businesses, communities or NGOs (Eddy, 2010).…”

We analyse the creation of European university alliances as an effort to build learning networks between universities in light of newly perceived needs in Europe. The rationales for such alliance formation include cultural integration, grand societal challenges and reforms in the European innovation ecosystem. We consider how alliance formation may be instrumental in achieving closer cooperation and understand alliances as learning networks where universities can share know-how, define strategies and pursue moral reflection. How such learning may take place is illustrated with a case study of the “EuroTeQ Collider”, a joint educational programme by one of the European university alliances. The case illustrates how uneven experience with novel educational formats and stakeholder engagement creates opportunities for exchange and how formulating a common language for joint activities can make universities align their strategies and deliberation.
