NEW PLANS FOR THE IAU GLOBAL MEETING OF ASSOCIATIONS IN MAY 2015
NEW THEME: SOCIAL INNOVATION: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
IAU and the African hosts of the 6 th edition of the IAU Global Meeting of Associations (GMA), scheduled for May in West Africa, have agreed to postpone the GMA in Africa until 2017. Instead, IAU welcomes new partners for this GMA: the Inter- American Organization of Higher Education (IOHE-OUI) and the host institution, Université de Montréal, both Members of the Association who have agreed to collaborate with IAU to organize this GMA in Montreal. The dates for the 6 th GMA remain 7 and 8 May, 2015.
However, the new location has inspired the partners to focus on a new theme: Social innovation: challenges and perspectives for higher Education , which will call on the various national, regional and international university associations, networks and groups to explore how universities are involved in social innovations, how they link up to governments, civil society and industry to develop new solutions to social problems.
