Tiivistelmä

The university sector in Europe has invested money and effort into the
internationalization of higher education. The benefits of internationalizing higher
education are fuelled by changing global values, choices and practices. However,
arguments that serve the internationalization of higher education tend to stress either
local organizational or individual interests; seldom do they emphasize the societal
benefits. This dissertation investigates how collaboration between university and
industry facilitates a shift in thinking about attracting and retaining global student talent,
in terms of co-creating solutions to benefit the development of our knowledge society.
The macro-structures of the higher education sector have the tendency to overemphasize
quantitative goals to improve performance verifiability. Recruitment of international
student talent is thereby turned into a mere supply issue. A mind shift is needed to
rethink the efficacy of the higher education sector with regard to retaining foreign
student talent as a means of contributing to society’s stock of knowledge and through
that to economic growth. This thesis argues that academic as well as industrial
understanding of the value of university-industry collaboration might then move beyond
the current narrow expectations and perceptions of the university’s contribution to
society’s innovation systems. This mind shift is needed to encourage and generate
creative opportunities for university-industry partnerships to develop sustainable
solutions for successful recruitment of foreign student talent, and thereby to maximize
the wealth-creating potential of global student talent recruitment.
This thesis demonstrates through the use of interpretive and participatory methods, how
it is possible to reveal new and important insights into university-industry partnering for
enhancing attraction and retention of global student talent. It accomplishes this by
expressly pointing out the central role of human collaborative experiencing and
learning. The narratives presented take the reader into a Finnish and Dutch universityindustry
partnering environment to reflect on the relationship between the local
universities of technology and their operational surroundings, a relationship that is set in
a context of local and global entanglements and challenges.
