of European University 2007, 19) indicators that reflect the dynamics
within the individual components of ic, such as:
1. human capital:
• performance indicators (e.g. the total number of assets for the
research/the number of all researchers),
• indicators of the openness to the home and international en-
vironment (e.g. the number of students in doctoral study pro-
grammes from other universities (home and foreign)/the num-
ber of all students in doctoral study programmes);
2. structural capital:
• indicators of autonomy (e.g. the amount of assets intended for
r&d/the total amount of all assets),
• indicators of codified knowledge in publications (e.g. a number
of copyright works by scientific fields/all the publications of the
university),
• indicators of codified knowledge in the form of intellectual
property (e.g. a number of patents owned by the university),
• strategic decisions (e.g. the presence of the strategy for the de-
velopment of research and education activity);
3. relational capital:
• corporate spin-off (a number of spin-offs created and financed
by the university),
• contracts of the university with the economy and other organ-
isations and common research and development projects,
• knowledge transfer through technology transfer institutions,
• knowledge transfer through human resources (e.g. a number
of phd students with scholarships provided by companies/the
number of all phd students),
• participation in social and cultural life,
• the so-called ‘public understanding of science’ (e.g. organisa-
tion of events for science promotion – media, forums, etc.).
The set of indicators is designed in such a way that they disclose all
three basic activities of the u p (education and study activity, scien-
tific research and art activity and socio-economic role of the university)
which represent its business process and its ‘production.’
The indicators were designed on the basis of different role models –
