CONFERENCE THEMES
World education: the new powerhouse?As city and nation states battle to emerge from world recession, keen to define their position in a new order global knowledge economy, higher and tertiary education is being propelled to centre stage. Education is under huge pressure from world governments to drive economic growth and play a key role in securing their global position. In rapidly developing global markets, governments perceive that innovation and economic growth will be generated from growing global networks of researchers, students and institutions. But what challenge does this present to the traditional roles of universities and colleges? How might this change the purpose of higher and tertiary education? Who are the new players and partners - governments, business, academics, and students? What is the relationship between them and how is this shifting expectations, roles, responsibilities and contributions?
Going Global 2011 will explore these challenges through four key themes:
- Investing for return: returning the investment
- Regional education hubs: global aspirations
- New purposes: new partnerships?
- Universities and colleges: meeting the challenge
