Trying to define the research problematic
• Beginnings
• A particular policy issue – ‘research
selectivity’
• An organising metaphor – ‘semi-peripheral’

Initial Organising Questions• What does the experience
of research selectivity look like in semi-peripheral systems of European higher education?
• In what ways are semi-peripheral systems governed through regional and global systems of surveillance and measurement?
• How is internal selectivity arranged at both national and institutional level (e.g. how are the humanities dealt with)?
• How are different categories of academic managed in relation to research selectivity?

Next?
• Develop a network – expand research capacity– COST Action– NORFACE
• Publication – work with and around the paradox
