5-07-2009 (UNESCO-HQ)-2009 World Conference on Higher Education
-
The field of higher education is undergoing rapid and profound transformation: demand is surging, providers are increasingly diverse and students are more mobile than ever. But national funding falls short of needs and stark inequalities remain at a time when higher education has a crucial role to play in addressing key social and economic challenges.
It is against this backdrop that the 2009 World Conference on Higher Education will be held in Paris, France from 5 to 8 July.
