Workshop: Globalising Practices in the Governance of Higher Education and Research

From November 24, 2016 until November 25, 2016
European Science Foundation, Strasbourg

This workshop presents a research programme that bridges the divide between research on higher education and research policy. The programme is built around three cases which together shed light on how the practices that now dominate the governance of science disseminate in the European context and beyond. The cases explored are the role of the ESF in the diffusion of governance practices; the development of global rankings of higher education and the evolution of competitive funding for basic research in the European Research Area.

At the workshop, Benedetto Lepori, professor at the Faculty of Communication science and Institute of Interdisciplinary Data Sciences at the University of Lugano will give a lecture open to the public entitled:

US and European universities. Is the difference money?

The workshop is organised by USIAS Fellows 2014 Merle Jacob, Dietmar Braun and Niilo Kaupi, as part of their joint Fellowship project.
