2nd Arab-Euro Conference on Higher Education, Amman, Jordan (10-12 June, 2014)

EUA invites its members to participate in and actively contribute to the 2nd Arab-Euro Conference on Higher Education (AECHE) that will take place in Amman, Jordan, from 10 to 12 June 2014.
Organised jointly by the Princess Sumaya University for Technology (PSUT), EUA, University of Barcelona and the Association of Arab Universities (AARU), it will bring together university representatives from Europe and the Arab world to discuss higher education development trends in both regions, particularly with regards to student and staff mobility and its relevance in intra-regional and bi-regional cooperation. Themes that will be covered include:

• Internationalisation through regional cooperation and mobility programmes
• The role of student and staff mobility in educating the citizens and employees of tomorrow
• The development, management and strategic interest of joint degrees
• The role of leadership in building institutional partnerships and incentivising student and staff mobility

Following up on the first AECHE conference held at the University of Barcelona (UB) in May 2013, this is one of a number of international dialogue activities that EUA facilitates in collaboration with its members (see also First Arab-Euro University Conference on Higher Education). Both, proposals for presentations and expressions of interest to participate in the event, can be sent to gemma.fagan@eua.be. More information, including the preliminary programme, is also available on the conference website. Read more...
