The Event

ACA is organising the annual ACA Conference of 2008 in cooperation with its Estonian member, Archimedes Foundation. The two-day conference will take place in the vibrant city of Tallinn on 16 and 17 June, with a welcome reception and tourist programme on 15 June.

The Theme

What will happen in European higher education after the magic year 2010? Will the Bologna Process continue, will the Lisbon Strategy remain the centerpiece of EU education, research and innovation policies? Or will new priorities emerge, and which? This is the overall theme of this year’s ACA Annual Conference.  More in detail, the international conference will address the future of academic mobility in the next decade, it will look into the ways of financing internationalisation and higher education as a whole, it will probe the issue of access, inclusive of alternative learning paths and transnational education, and it will seek to explore future language policies of higher education institutions. The conference will draw an audience of 250-plus participants – composed of policymakers and practitioners alike, from Europe and elsewhere in the world.
