Abstract(s)
Higher education institutions and, particularly, polytechnic institutes in
Portugal are, generally speaking, recognised as key stakeholders in regional
development.
However, due to the economic recession of recent years and the consequent
budget constraints, higher education institutions, now more than ever, need to
demonstrate the social and cultural impact of their activities within their
communities and, also, their contribution to its economic development. Thus,
the aim of this paper is to estimate the economic impact of a group of
polytechnic institutes located in regions with diverse socioeconomic realities,
by using a common methodology. This common framework enables a
comparative study and a better identification of the variables that differentiate
the realities of the different regions, the respective polytechnics and their
impacts.
