Content

In a time of dynamic cooperation, let us come together to share best practices in engagement with private stakeholders and co-providers of education. Let us identify multiple strategies that will enable us to keep the students we have - and be able to afford the costs of keeping them. Let us discuss how we can attract new students: are we meeting the needs of learners from all communities and from economies in growth? Are we prepared to choose between education and training – do we need to? Or is there a “dual system”? Are we prepared to monetise a knowledge society? Let us talk about the crucial role of staff and possible reluctance from colleagues and learners. And let us shed light on the horizon of technological trends for education such as the use of learning analytics for marketing and personalisation.

The aim of this meeting is to provide OEB’s participants with a role in shaping learning in the heart of Higher Education to come together to share aspirations, to be inspired by practical lessons, develop global connections and get a sense of the future of the sector. Different topics will be addressed in conversation rounds by an exciting group of speakers in a format that aims to encourage interaction.
