Sharing Quality Higher Education Across Borders:
The Role of Associations and Institutions
International Conference
15-16 November 2005
In Alexandria, the International Association of Universities (IAU) will hold an International Conference whose participants will include university and other institutions leaders, as well as Association leaders. The focus will remain on cross-border education as an important and growing aspect of internationalisation of higher education.
The discussion will revolve around definitions of cross-border education. It will articulate the key questions that its expansion brings. It will try to ascertain how best associations can serve their institutional members by improving knowledge, policies and measures at the institutional, national, regional and international levels that maximise the benefits and limit the possible negative impacts of cross-border education.
In addition, the Conference will enable all participants to learn more about recent developments in higher education in Egypt where reforms have been underway for several years and where various initiatives of cross-border education, involving US, German, Canadian and French institutions among others, have been launched.
Programme and Registration:
The event is organised by the International Association of Universities and is co-hosted by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport and will take place at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Egypt.
