Universities and the market
1 November 2007 - 1 November 2007
Sweden
An international symposium entitled 'The University in the Market' will take place from 1 to 3 November in Stockholm, Sweden.
The symposium will address the challenges and opportunities arising from the increased pressures on universities to develop open interfaces with the business world, and increased competition between the universities themselves as a market for students.
The participants will debate such questions as: Are the old values now outdated? If not, how can they be reconciled with these new 'values'? How can university 'business' reconcile a real need for income with concepts of academic freedom, productivity, and the pressure for the institution to contribute to economic growth of society?For more information, please visit:
