On the occasion of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, all ten universities of Belgium are delighted to invite researchers and policy makers to reflect on the European University Alliances as drivers of change and innovation in higher education.
This high-level conference will explore multilingualism, inclusion, student and staff mobility, superdiversity in academia and the labour market, pedagogical innovations and the European Degree label. The conference will also focus on how the Alliances can contribute to an enhanced collaboration with our partner universities in the Global South.
UNIVERSEH and YUFE, represented by UNamur and UAntwerpen, respectively, will contribute to a joint session on the Alliances as Drivers of Pedagogical Innovation.
