Presentations coming soon

The conference addressed the following topics:

• How models in key areas of Higher Education travel internationally, across systems, with positive or negative consequences (e.g. models of governance, funding, student access, curriculum and pedagogy, transparency, efficiency, or trust building).
• Are there productive contemporary examples of models in these areas being adopted, and adapted, from other systems? Are there new/recent models that can be useful in other systems than those were they emerged initially?
• Are there contemporary examples of counterproductive instances of higher education models traveling internationally?
• How can both types of examples be studied and how can lessons learned from a scholarly analysis be used in practice?

Target groups

Vice-Rectors Education or Student affairs, representatives of academic leadership responsible for Education & Teaching, Deans, Directors for Innovation in Education, Coordinators of Study Programmes​ from UNICA Members
