EUCEN has taken up objectives for the creation of a European area of higher education for the development of University Continuing Education (UCE):

- excellence of teaching and research according to international standards
- international student mobility
- suitable changes of university structures promoting LLL
- output and work related learning content for the promotion of employability.

This conference at Hannover will focus on the latter two objectives. LLL and employability, even though subject of a European strategy, must be promoted in the regional context.

"Engagement as a core value: Imperatives for change in universities, industry and communities"

Event Information

Melbourne, Australia

Communities and industries are changing profoundly as the world becomes more globalised. What does this mean for institutions preparing graduates to become active citizens and productive members of the work force? These institutions have to explore new ways of developing graduate capabilities and competencies that will meet the demands of an inexorably changing society. The 2007 Academia Industry Conference aims to bring together academia, industry and community to examine how the demands of this globalising society can be met preparing world graduates for the future.

Higher education institutions (HEIs) can play a key role in their regions. They are significant regional employers, they educate students and conduct basic and applied research that promotes enterprise formation and supports businesses, public services and cultural institutions. Bringing together policy makers and practitioners; public and private bodies concerned with regional development; leaders and managers of HEIs; and those responsible for community liaison and regional development at HEIs, this important conference will look at ways in how HEIs can best contribute to the region building in the knowledge-based economy.

An emerging conventional wisdom about European cities argues that they are vital to the future of our societies and are undergoing revitalisation. Cities are engines of regional and national development in advanced economies dependent on innovation, knowledge, human capital and connectivity. In an era of low communication costs and high mobility, cities can offer high quality environments, vibrant amenities and sustainable patterns of development. They can also provide social and cultural vitality in a context of increasing population diversity and fluidity.
