CIHES Working Paper No.12.
Central European Higher Education Cooperation Conference Proceedings
Editors: József Berács – Julia Iwinska – Gergely Kováts – Liviu Matei
July, 2015
This volume
comprises of selected papers that were originally presented at the
first Central European Higher Education Cooperation (CEHEC) conference
held in Budapest from 28-29 January 2015. The CEHEC was the first of a
series of conferences organized at the initiative of the Center of
International Higher Education Studies (CIHES) at Corvinus University of
Budapest and Central European University (CEU), in collaboration with
partners from the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia.
The
conference series intends to bring together researchers and
practitioners who share a systematic interest in promoting both the
scholarly study and the practical advancement of higher education in the
Central and Eastern European region. It aims at stimulating a
discussion of significant trends and key issues in the region’s higher
education apart from enhancing academic collaboration and sharing of
experience in higher education research and policy making.
This volume
presents twenty articles by a group of contributors from Hungary,
Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Slovenia and Ukraine. The papers
highlight some of the key issues that appear to be particularly
relevant, or even specific in certain instances, to the region’s higher
education, as well as present country case studies. The specific issues
approached are subsumed under larger topics such as university autonomy
and governance, financing of higher education, internationalization and
mobility, higher education reforms in a post-communist transition
setting, challenges of massification and demographic trends, quality,
access and teaching and learning. The detailed programme of the first
conference and information about the authors is enclosed in the Annex.
We
hope these papers will be an enjoyable read for all interested readers,
and they will join to the next conference or other events related to
this new initiative Central European Higher Education Cooperation
(CEHEC).
