The article deals with the issue of the development of university education in the EU countries. The article presents statistical data on the number of students at each of the higher education levels of the European Union. The factors influencing the process of university education development have been discussed: European and national.It is generalized that the current tendencies of the development of higher education in the countries of the European Union are: the mass character of population obtaining higher education; increasing accessibility of higher education for citizens; internationalization.The general tendencies of organization of the educational process in universities of the European Union countries include: the use of higher education levels (bachelor and master); the use of credit-transfer system of training; the education quality control (developing common criteria for evaluating the quality of teaching and providing educational services); the expansion of academic mobility (creation of integrated educational programs and programs for conducting scientific researches); from teaching – to self-study; from skills – to competences and learning outcomes; orientation to achievement of goals and attention to the evaluation of achievements; dialogue between structures; from linearity – to dynamic thinking; providing the employment of graduates.It is noted that current trends in the development of higher education and specific activities of universities of the EU countries are increasingly affecting the socio-political and economic development of European countries. The objectives of the educational policy of the EU countries include: improving the provision of educational services, facilitating the employment of graduates and strengthening interaction with various sectors of the domestic and world economy, strengthening international cooperation activities, mobility of students and teaching staff, internationalization of higher education, which are crucial factors for advancement of our country in the ...

Various studies on research and technology development have
establish¬ed that research and extension programs have contributed
substantially towards the productivity gains in the agricultural sector
of the high income countries. A greater emphasize is being placed on
agricultural research and extension activities, in developing countries,
and new programs are being planned and existing ones being strengthened,
either through their own resources or with the help of various
international aid agencies. Adequate and genuine technology transfers
can help late comers in their race for development. However, transfer of
agricultural technology is limited by geo-climatic factors; it is
important for the specific countries and the donor agencies to know
where potentially transferable discoveries of technology and technical
knowledge are being made and which one of these offer the greatest
potential. Moreover the provision of adequate data on research and
extension and inter country and inter region comparisons of these data
will stimulate further investigations that will be helpful in providing
guidelines for the rational allocation of the limited scientific and
material resources. The monograph, under review, is a valuable addition
to the.inventory of research data. It is organized in six chapters.
Chapter I provides a general summary of the data and main findings of
the monograph. Chapter II deals with Investment in Public Sector
Research and Extension Institutions, chapter III deals with
International Aid and National and International Research Programs,
chapter IV with Agricultural Research in the Private Sector and chapter
V with Organi¬zation, Commodity Emphasis and Skill Levels in National
Research Systems. Finally a brief survey of studies based on national
data in this field of research is provided in the last chapter on
Economic Properties of Agricultural Research and Extension.

The general intention with the follow-up study is to shed light on the contract education program of the FoU (Lic) and on the academic supervision out of the perspectives of the five Licentiate candidates. The focus is on their implicit knowledge, explicated as their habitus towards participating in the academic world as research students and, at the same time, professionally working in the field that is as well the field of their scientific interest as that of political interests and social demands.

Need to increase the intensity of agricultural production brings increased demand on policy makers´ decisions and agricultural practice. In this context in recent years has increased the importance of management tools and indicators for assessing and managing the farming activities. The subject of matter is the appraisal and management of not only the economic impacts, but also the environmental and social impacts. Input-output tables are used for various types of analysis. They were initially used for economical appraisal and later were extended to include more complex appraisal of the technology and working patterns and of new or substantially improved products. Within appraisal, the focus is not only on economic consequences but also on environmental and social aspects. The paper focuses on the economic and environmental appraisal of a particular outcome of a R&D project. With the growing number of biogas stations, there are in the literature increasingly emerging studies aimed to analyse the economic and environmental impacts of treatment of digestate, which is generated as a waste product of biogas production and is used in agriculture as fertilizer. The main aim of the paper is to present, using the balance models, economic and environmental appraisal of new digestate treatment technology. ; Nutnost zvyšovat intenzitu zemědělské produkce klade zvýšené nároky na rozhodování jak tvůrců odpovídajících politik, tak zemědělské praxe. V této souvislosti v posledních letech roste význam manažerských nástrojů pro řízení zemědělských činností. Předmětem zájmu je vyhodnocování a řízení nejen ekonomických dopadů, ale také dopadů zemědělských aktivit na životní prostředí a společnost. Bilanční modely slouží pro zpracovávání analýz různého typu. Nejprve byly užívány pouze jako podklad pro ekonomické hodnocení, postupně se jejich aplikace rozšiřuje s cílem získat komplexní informace pro posouzení nových technologií a pracovních postupů a nových nebo podstatně zdokonalených produktů a služeb. V rámci hodnocení je pozornost věnována nejen ekonomickým dopadům, ale i environmentálním a sociálním aspektům. Článek je zaměřen na ekonomické a environmentální vyhodnocení konkrétního výsledku projektu výzkumu a vývoje. V souvislosti s rozvojem bioplynových stanic se v odborné literatuře stále častěji objevují studie, které vyhodnocují ekonomické a environmentální dopady nakládání s digestátem, který vzniká jako odpadní produkt při výrobě bioplynu a je využíván v zemědělství jako hnojivo. Hlavním cílem článku je prezentovat ekonomické a environmentální vyhodnocení nové technologie úpravy digestátu s využitím bilančních modelů.
