Pays : France
Langue(s) : anglais, français
Date : du 15-06-2014 au 17-06-2014
Lieu : Bordeaux
Organisation : Academic Cooperation Association (ACA)
co-organisé avec l'Agence 2e2f
Programme :
Co-organised with the Agence Europe-Education-Formation France, the conference will have three foci, which we try to sum up in the conference title: Europe in the world. Higher education trends across the globe.
First, it will assess the relative attractiveness of European higher education on a global scale. Issues to be addressed here include the European Union’s ‘foreign policy’ in higher education, the global outreach under the new Erasmus+ Programme, and the Bologna Process as a model for regional cooperation worldwide. We will also have a north-American view on the relative strengths and weaknesses of Europe’ universities and colleges.
Second, the conference will address present and future key issues of European and global higher education, amongst them the future of the university in a world characterised by MOOCs and open educational resources, transnational education, and strategic partnerships.
Third, the event will analyse, in two sets of parallel sessions, recent trends in major non-European countries and regions around the world and present state-of-the-art partnerships between universities in these regions and countries and in Europe. The countries and regions chosen cover a large part of the globe. There will be sessions on Africa, China, the Gulf Region, India, Latin America, the Mediterranean Basin, Russia, and the United States of America. The parallel sessions are designed to be interactive: concise and provocative input statements will be followed by a guided discussion amongst participants.
