Contextualising Higher Education in Central and South Eastern Europe: two-day conference, higher education experts from 11 countries
Two-day conference, higher education experts from 11 countries will address the following key questions in keynotes, panel discussions and presentations: What is the current situation of universities in CEE? What trends can be identified in the educational policies in CEE? How do these changes affect the arts in particular? What are the main tensions between the private and public sectors in the field of higher education? What is the impact of a project like Patterns_Lectures? The programme focuses on the visual arts and culture of the 1960s until today. After the collapse of socialism the universities in Europe were under immense pressure to introduce reforms due to increasing international competition, the massification of higher education and, more recently, the Bologna Process. The process of making higher education more market-oriented involved the discontinuation of entire disciplines, the construction of new institutions and the complete restructuring of the system. Initiated by ERSTE Foundation, Implemented by WUS Austria, the conference is hosted by AAAD.
