A felsőoktatás térszerkezetének változása és kapcsolata a regionális szerkezettel
Changes and links between the higher education network and regional networks

Summary/Abstract: János Rechnitzer’s study Changes and links between the higher education network and regional networks shows that the attention of Hungary’s academic community in the regions has become increasingly focused on higher education. The author finds that throughout Europe the dominance of the capital city is decreasing significantly in higher education, and also that the regional influence of higher education is increasingly felt in the development of individual regions, and these phenomena make necessary the inclusion of regional structures in national higher education and technology policy. Analysis of Hungarian higher education shows that here too great changes have occurred since the changes of 1989–90. Alongside the mass expansion of higher education the Bologna-style course has been introduced, and new types of course (distance learning, e-learning) have been adopted. The demand for higher education services has been accompanied by a territorial reorganisation too. Although Budapest still maintains its leading role, the traditional provincial centers of higher education have seen their position strengthened.
