This open access book explores the impact of Covid-19 on universities, and how students, staff, faculty and academic leaders have adapted to and dealt with the impact of the pandemic. Drawing on experiences from Britain, Australia and Sweden, it showcases how Covid has challenged routines and procedures in universities, and thrown them into a disarray of ever-changing events and short-term adaptations. The authors pay particular attention to how students, staff, faculty, and leaders have coped with Covid, through a series of autobiographical portraits of their strains but also heroic efforts in the harshest of circumstances. This important book explores the exceptional ramifications of the pandemic but also how universities may contribute to a fairer and more robust society and concludes with a set of prescriptions for universities that aim to be proactive and resilient forces in society. It will be of interest to scholars interested in higher education, governance and organizational studies. This is an open access book.

Dieser Open Access Band beleuchtet den weit über die wissenschaftliche Community hinaus diskutierten Bereich der Personen- und Gütermobilität aus einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Perspektiven. Das Buch zeichnet sich durch seinen interdisziplinären Ansatz aus: neben rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen werden auch Aspekte aus Verkehrswirtschaft, Technik sowie nachhaltiger Verkehrspolitik beleuchtet, unter anderem anhand von Großprojekten wie dem österreichisch-italienischen Brennerbasistunnel und der Neuen Eisenbahn-Alpentransversale in der Schweiz. Zunächst werden die Instrumente zur Verwirklichung des europäischen Binnenmarkts im Transport- und Verkehrsrecht behandelt. Darauf werden Fragen der internationalen gerichtlichen Zuständigkeit und des anwendbaren Vertragsrechts bei der grenzüberschreitenden multimodalen Güterbeförderung in der EU auf der Grundlage aktueller Judikatur diskutiert. Im Bereich des internationalen Warenhandels werden Querbezüge zwischen UN-Kaufrecht und COTIF-Eisenbahngüterbeförderungsrecht (CIM) hergestellt. Ferner werden die aktuell vieldiskutierten haftungsrechtlichen Herausforderungen des automatisierten Fahrens sowie die umstrittene Frage der Luftreinhaltung durch Verkehrsverbote in den Städten behandelt. Darauf folgt die Diskussion kartellrechtlicher Fragen von Kooperationen im grenzüberschreitenden Eisenbahnverkehr. Den Ausgangspunkt für dieses Buch bildete eine Tagung an der Universität Innsbruck.

The first volume of the series aims to give an outline of the state of the art and the most recent research being done on public and non profit governance at the international level (with particular emphasis in Europe). The focus of the volume is mainly on the organizational governance that still remains a neglected area of governance both in the public and in the non-profit sector. The volume includes two groups of chapters aimed at examining the recent trends and the future directions of the public and non-profit governance research. One group of chapters addresses broad issues of how to conceptualize and research 'governance' in public and non-profit organizations. The second group of chapters deals with recent trends of research on governance mechanisms through empirical studies, including contingency and behavioural studies on public and non-profit boards, studies on participative governance mechanisms such as stakeholder involvement and citizens participation and studies on governance codification.
