Australia’s future in a competitive world depends on effective collaborative approaches – do we have the means for that? This conference, hosted by RMIT University’s EU Centre, will bring together policymakers, leaders in regional and Australian business, academics and entrepreneurs for a frank debate about the prerequisites to sustain quality research and innovation in Australia.
The 2017 PASCAL International Observatory Conference “Trends 2017 – Between Cities and the Rural: The Role of Universities” takes place on 17-19 October 2017. Delegates are reminded of the change of venue for this Conference to Pretoria. This change made the Conference more accessible and therefore more delegates can attend this event. The change sparked an immediate increase in the number of Conference papers submitted.
Colleagues with the PASCAL network may be interested in this opportunity to be briefing on the Global Challenges Research Fund in Bogota, Dehli and Pretoria, which are occuring in the Autumn.
We are pleased to present a series of summary reports from the Strengthening the Regional Engagement Role of Universities in Africa and Asia (SRERUAA) project in Cape Town.
The PASCAL Centre in Africa recently hosted a meeting of the Supporting Urban Engagement of Universities in Africa and Asia (SUEUAA) project in Cape Town.
We are now in a position to announce a series of events, starting in Wales and moving to England (Wolverhampton), Scotland (Glasgow) and Northern Ireland (Ulster). The intention is to make the network as accessible as is possible and thus share our collective ideas and passions for inclusive outreach/Lifelong Learning.
In higher education and public administration studies in general, two main arguments for understanding policy development, policy tools and institutional responses prevail. One line refers to the rapid spread of policies across the globe and emphasises policy borrowing and coping with policies. The other main argument repeatedly points out how national trajectories and path dependencies influence implementation processes, the choice and effectiveness of policy tools and the proposed policy solutions.
