EDC Opening Event: EU-Latin American and the Caribbean cooperation: bolstering dialogue and building relationships

Fecha: 17/09/2009
Ubicación: Madrid
Institución Organizadora: European Association of International Education

While the idea of an EU-LAC Higher Education Area has been a policy objective for several years, European-Latin American cooperation seems to encompass a variety of bi-national and European projects and partnerships that lack a certain interconnectivity. This session will bring together a roundtable of different European and Latin American university organisations to discuss the present importance of EU-LAC dialogue with regards to higher education regional reform processes as well as prospects for a more integrated approach to bi-regional partnership, recognition and mobility.
