African universities as development agents: the role of regional cooperation

In this webinar, Olusola Oyewole (President of the African Association of Universities, AAU) will talk to the “three missions” of African universities and their role as agents of development, and the role of an organization such as the AAU in promoting regional cooperation and integration, as well as in supporting universities with their developmental agendas. Olusola will trace the evolution of the relationship between the AAU, the AU and the Pan African University, as well as offer an analysis of different national and international perspectives on HE policy for development.
