Glocalising Universities:
A shifting horizon
This event explores how universities can embrace global perspectives while staying rooted in local relevance.
Hasselt University, Hasselt - Belgium
- Upcoming events
This three-day conference is open to everyone involved in education and/or research — from teaching staff and researchers to support services and policy makers across our EURECA-PRO alliance and beyond.
“Glocalisation” within the context of universities refers to the combination of global perspectives and trends with local or regional contexts within the field of higher education. It focuses on how universities can adapt and integrate global perspectives while maintaining local relevance. Finding a balance between operating within a globalised world through international research collaborations, student mobilities and forming joint programmes while maintaining the responsibility of serving local communities by addressing regional needs through relevant study programmes and research projects remains a challenge.
During the event, the biennial EURECA-PRO Teaching Forum will also take place, providing a platform to exchange best practices and showcase outcomes of teaching innovation. As part of the forum, the EURECA-PRO Teaching Excellence Awards (TEAs) will be presented to higher education academic staff whose teaching innovation programmes and practices demonstrate an exceptional impact on learning and on the overall student experience.
