The 2014 ACA Annual Conference will take place in Bordeaux, from 15 to 17 June. It will be co-organised by the Agence Europe-Education-Formation (2e2f) and it is expected to draw an audience of 300+ from Europe and elsewhere in the world. The conference bears the title Europe in the world. Higher education trends across the globe. It has three main foci. First, it will assess the relative attractiveness of European higher education on a global scale. Second, it will address present and future key issues of European and global higher education. Third, the event will analyse recent trends in higher education in major countries and regions around the world and present state-of-the-art partnerships between universities in these regions and countries and in Europe. The conference language will be English. Two of overall eight workshops, however, will be held in French.
Presenters at an ACA Annual Conference are chosen exclusively from a small group of internationally reputed experts from the fields of higher education research and higher education policy. Their names and short bios can be found on the ACA website.
This conference will provide food for thought, but also culinary and touristic delights. Conference dinner will be held in a Bordeaux vineyard. Participants will also be received in the town hall of Bordeaux, by the newly re-elected city's mayor and former French Prime Minister Alain Juppé. Traditionally, participants will have the afternoon before the opening of the conference to explore the host city. It will be an excellent opportunity to find out why the city is rightly called the "Pearl of Aquitaine" and why the historic part of the city figures on the UNESCO World Heritage List as "an outstanding urban and architectural ensemble" of the 18th century.

Following its successful 2013 International HETL Conference at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, the International Higher Education Teaching and Learning Association (HETL) invites you to attend the 2014 International HETL Conference, to be held in Anchorage, Alaska, USA.
About the Theme
In Being a University (2011, p143), Ronald Barnett talks about the emerging university of the future as an ecological university, where the ecological university is not only concerned with the natural environment but is concerned about “…a much wider ambit, embracing the personal, social, cultural, institutional and technological environments and knowledge of those environments; in short, the world in its fullest senses.” The ecological university thus endeavors to cultivate those interconnections through meaningful and diverse ways of learning and inquiry.

Conference Dates: May 31 to June 02, 2014 (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday)

Venue: The Hilton Anchorage. All conference activities (sessions, luncheons, etc) will be held at the Hilton – 500 West Third Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska, USA 99501 (+1-907-272-7411). See Travel/Lodging tab.

Keynote speakers:

Le 41ème Colloque annuel organisé par la Conférence des Directeurs de Services Universitaires de Formation Continue aura lieu du 11 au 13 juin 2014.
Si la mission Formation Continue des Universités n'est pas nouvelle, le contexte économique difficile et le vote récent des lois relatives à l'enseignement supérieur et à la formation professionnelle nous interrogent sur le chemin à emprunter afin que nos universités deviennent de véritables établissements d'apprentissage et de formation tout au long de la vie. Notre colloque 2014, qui réunira lors de la séance inaugurale nos collègues de la COURROIE, vise à partager cette réflexion avec de nombreux intervenants, partenaires sociaux, élus, chercheurs, universitaires et à poser les grands principes qui permettront aux Universités d'être demain en capacité de répondre aux espoirs et aux besoins suscités par l'inscription dans la loi ESR de la mission FTLV.
