abstract

This article analyses Spain's Campus of International Excellence (CEI) Programme and its potential for raising the visibility of the country's universities, optimising resources and intensifying interaction with the local surrounds. The examples studied are the UAM–CSIC (Autonomous University of Madrid + National Research Council) and EUSKAMPUS (University of the Basque Country + Donostia International Physics Center) CEIs. The main characteristics, mission and aims of these initiatives are discussed. The results are analysed in terms of the papers published in journals listed in international databases (Web of Science). The analysis compares each university's individual output to the results obtained by these inter-institutional alliances. The improvement observed in all the indicators studied highlights the importance of joining forces to attain higher visibility

5. Discussion and conclusions

Global rankings, an outcome of the increasing internationalisation of higher education, have led to the redesign of the ideal model for universities as researchintensive institutions. Such institutions are able to attract international talent and deploy other resources required to compete on the global higher education market. National universities therefore face a dual challenge when seeking to enhance their international reputation. On the one hand they need to strengthen their bonds with other institutions to optimise resources and capitalise on complementary capacities, and on the other they must raise their international visibility to attract resources and establish their standing in a worldwide scenario (De Filippo et al., 2013). The changing circumstances in which these institutions are immersed require new models for conducting and interpreting their scientific activity in which all the available resources and the results obtained within their international sphere of influence are taken into consideration.
