Higher Education Institutions are becoming increasingly international in their student and staff recruitment, teaching and learning, and research. Yet, universities are also expected, and rightly so, to serve local communities, their immediate neighbourhoods, and the cities where they are based and operate.

The webinar will address the ongoing developments in the cooperation between universities and their cities, extracting lessons from partnerships between city administrations and Universities’ educational divisions (Department of Education/School of Education etc). The event will have the format of a panel discussion followed by a Q&A session with the participants.

The panel will be composed of representatives of university-based Schools & Departments of Education along with top city administration leaders from capital cities of Europe and provide a space for an exchange of know-how and good practices regarding how Schools of Education based in universities serve their capital cities in Europe.

Matters to be discussed will include: 

  • Do university-based Schools of Education address effectively the needs of their capital cities?  
  • What are these needs? How are they identified and by whom?  
  • Who has the responsibility to formulate appropriate answers, such as in the design and deliver of teacher education activities?
  • What type of cooperation exists or should be put in place between universities, the cities and central government authorities to ensure that the needs of the capital cities in this area are properly assessed and addressed? 
  • What are the main obstacles in university-based Schools of Education serving the capital cities in Europe and what are good experiences in overcoming such barriers?
