Abstract
The article concerns the role of HEIs in regional development, with particular emphasis on the concept of the third mission. The aim of the article is to answer the question whether HEIs, while formulating and carrying out their missions and strategies, are oriented to support the process of regional development. The research problem was analyzed in accordance with the principle of methodological triangulation, based on literature review and the results of the author’s own study: the content analysis of the missions and strategies of HEIs, and a survey conducted among rectors of HEIs. The article discusses the concept of the third mission of HEIs as the view reflecting the growing importance of their activities for the benefit of regional communities. The analysis of HEIs` missions and strategies shows that regional orientation in these documents is articulated in a positive way. The results of the content analysis correspond to the survey results, which show that the activities in the field of third mission are distinctive in the management concepts at the level of HEIs’ missions and development strategies.
