Universities in social change: multiple missions, hyperactive organisations? – the thematic mission statement of INCHER research

In our research, we ask questions such as: How do universities manage to meet the different demands and fulfill their multiple missions? How does the overlapping of tasks change the university and the activities of its members? To what extent is it functional? Where are there complementarities and where are there conflicting goals? What effects can be expected if the university becomes a hyperactive organization that defines itself through visible projects ('lighthouses') and permanently generates a correspondingly high level of activity?

The theme mission statement "Universities in social change: multiple missions, hyper-active organizations?" is the source of INCHER's four strategic research areas.
