INQAAHE Talks webinar
on November 8

Join this interactive session on November 8 (Friday) at 14:00 - 15:30 CET/UTC+1. 
The coming into force of the UNESCO Global Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education (GRC), currently ratified by 30 countries, is exercising the international education community to think about the possible implications of its wider adoption and implementation. These include the possibility of establishing an international higher education area, in a similar way to which the Lisbon Recognition Convention paved the way for the creation of a European Higher Education Area.

This INQAAHE Talk will focus discussion on this scenario, involving key stakeholders who would be able to bring different perspectives about the requirements, opportunities, and challenges for the fuller realization of the GRC’s potential, and the eventual establishment of an international higher education area.

The following speakers will join us in this session:
• Borhene Chakroun, Director of the Policies and Lifelong Learning Systems Division at UNESCO.
• Fabrice Hénard, INQAAHE CEO.
