The forum ‘LES ASSISES DE L’ENSEIGNEMENT SUPERIEUR’, will focus on higher education and research, in particular on five central themes, namely – internationalisation of tertiary education, quality issues, research and innovation, labour market needs and employability and management of higher education institutions.
