On not going global: the case for inter-regional higher education dialogue

Export to calendar

Abstract

In this first webinar of this three-part CGHE-OBREAL series, Ramon Torrent, President of OBREAL (Observatorio de las Relaciones UE – AL) makes the case for inter-regional higher education dialogue. Using examples, he will start by distinguishing between international, global, multilateral, plurilateral, regional, continental and inter-regional collaborations. He will offer a political and analytical framework from which to make sense of these dialogues. Drawing on his own professional biography, he will describe the different university associations that have been involved in inter-regional collaborations, as well as OBREAL’s role in promoting South – South – North(s) dialogue, their impact and their future. OBREAL is an association bringing together more than 100 universities, institutes and networks in Europe, Africa, and Latin America.
