EUA annual conference 2010 - Diversities and Commonalities – the changing face of Europe’s universities


Date :  du 20-10-2010 au 23-10-2010

Lieu :  Palerme

Organisation :  European University Association (EUA)


Programme : 
In response to the multiple demands of to-day’s knowledge societies, universities across Europe are moving to sharpen their distinctive institutional profiles while also maintaining their common cultural heritage and shared values. Universities have a crucial function, not only in creating and disseminating knowledge, but also in reinforcing social cohesion and promoting inter- and multicultural dialogue, not least through involvement in the life of their communities at different levels. They are also increasingly actively engaged in promoting dialogue and building partnerships with a variety of different actors, be it at regional, national or international level.
      The Palermo conference will explore the evolving nature of Europe’s universities. It will take account of the impact both of external pressures to respond to different demands at system level and of internal developments, examining the complex interplay of factors shaping the modern university. This includes rapidly evolving legal frameworks and governance structures, covering mergers, partnerships and other arrangements, as well as funding mechanisms and incentives, QA procedures and other accountability requirements, all of which drive convergence or diversity. Similarly the conference will also consider the attitudes and values by the different actors in higher education systems, e.g. policy makers, institutional leaders, academics and external stakeholders, that are also important in shaping the development of Europe’s universities. The conference includes two sets of parallel working group sessions on the same theme ("Designing and implementing institutional strategies") but with different speakers presenting different case studies.
