The Conference is one of the largest regional fora on higher education and research.
This time, the opening session was on the topic "The dialogue between universities and businesses: Challenges and social responsibilities of higher education" with 4 specialized sessions on:
The President of CONFRAISE's message on the topic of this year's Conference stated: The contemporary world opens up new opportunities and at the same time many challenges for higher education. Today, unversities face increasing competition because learners are better equipped to choose where to study, especially thanks to the tools provided by modern sciecne and technology. To ease this competition, universities have to take a number of measures, most important of which is improving the quality of training and research affairs.
This improvement can only be effectively realized when universities sufficiently upgrade themselves through innovating internal quality assurance systems. To that end, CONFRAISE is in charge of organizing, directing and monitoring the interactions and collaborating the actions among its members as well as with other organizations and institutions.
