Summary/Abstract: The study takes a look at lesser known phenomena and recent developments which can provide a possible framework of interpretation for a thematic issue of the Educatio periodical. The Scientific Session of the Section of Economics and Law of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Section IX), convened on May 14th, 2014, (“The Competitiveness of Higher Education Institutions in Hungary and throughout the World”) undertook a challenge to explore questions that are closely correlated in the topic – as indicated in the title – but which are generally only examined with scientific thoroughness separately; thus, the wish here is to note their mutual influence on each other. The interconnections between economic competitiveness and higher education competitiveness in individual countries as well as economic competitiveness and the general performance of higher education were the session’s focus.
