Vad innebär EEA för lärosäten i Sverige?
Webbinarium den 27 maj  kl 13.00-15.00
 
Sedan 2017 har det Europeiska utbildningsområdet (EEA) varit en högt prioriterad fråga på EU:s policy agenda. Vad det innebär för EU:s medlemsstater och svenska lärosäten är något som växer fram progressivt, en kommunikation efter en annan från Bryssel. En förståelse för hur lärosäten påverkas och påverkar den fortsatta processen är en grundförutsättning för att bevara det kollegiala medbestämmandet och institutionella autonomin.

Så, vad är det Europeiska utbildningsområdet? Vad innebär det och hur styrs det? Vad är koppling till Europauniversitetsinitiativet? Vilka kopplingar finns mellan utbildningsområdet och det Europeiska forskningsområdet (ERA)? och hur kan det enskilda lärosätet påverka dessa pågående och framtida agendor?
 
Under två timmar bjuder Rektor in till ett informativt samtal om det Europeiska utbildningsområdet, EEA.

What does the EEA mean for HEIs in Sweden?
Webinar on 27 May at 13:00-15:00
 
The European Education Area (EEA) has been a high-priority item on the EU’s policy agenda since 2017. What it means for the EU’s member states and Swedish higher education institutions (HEIs) is something that is gradually emerging, one communication after another from Brussels. An understanding of how HEIs are affected by, and affect, the continuing process is a prerequisite for preserving collegial co-determination and institutional autonomy.

So, what is the European Education Area? What does it entail and how is it run? What is the connection with the European Universities Initiative? What links are there between the education area and the European Research Area (ERA)? And how can individual HEIs influence their current and future agendas?
 
The Vice-Chancellor invites you to an informal two-hour discussion about the European Education Area.

Academic leadership and renewal of education explored

On 6 May, the volume Renewing Higher Education: Academic Leadership in Times of Transformation, edited by Sylvia Schwaag Serger, Anders Malmberg & Mats Benner, was published.

The volume is an outcome of the CALIE project in which Lund University have joined forces with the University of Gothenburg, Stockholm University and Uppsala University. Together with Stanford University, UC Berkeley and University of Washington, they have explored the topics of academic leadership and renewal of education, with the aim of strengthening the capacity for higher education and research to respond to the long-term challenges facing higher education.

In the volume around 25 academics from Sweden and the US write about the role and functioning of universities in a time of societal and technological transformations and challenges. Chapters include themes such as academic leadership and innovation in higher education, digitization, life-long learning, the European University initiative, and pathways for improving doctoral education. The Lund University Agenda 2030 Graduate School is featured in one chapter.
 
The volume can be accessed at the CALIE website, and will be launched at a digital conference – Academic Leadership & Strategic Renewal of Education in Challenging Times – which will take place on 18-19 May.

Celebrate the EUGLOH Alliance Day – 12 May 2021!
The purpose of Alliance Day is to celebrate and acknowledge the EUGLOH alliance. Each year the Alliance Day has a new topic. This year’s topic is about exploring the world with today’s constraints. How can we develop our curiosity in times when travel and exploration are limited and increasingly shifting to virtual spaces? How can we create a sense of belonging and closeness? Come celebrate our 2021 Alliance Day and learn more about exploring the world with today's constraints!

Some of the activities are: A round-table with vice-chancellors from each EUGLOH university connected to the topic and about constructing EUGLOH with today's constraints. Pro Vice-Chancellor for Education, Ann-Kristin Wallengren will participate from Lund University, a cook-along with a French chef, virtual yoga, concerts and an intercultural quiz and much more.

All students and staff are welcome and the cele-brations will take place on 12 May 10:00-17:00.

Protecting student expression globally
An online roundtable discussion on 19 May at 19:00

Students' right to organise and to voice opinion is an integral part of higher education. Still, in many parts of the world students’ freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and association, and the right to education are threatened. State and institutional actors – including universities – restrict and attack student expression through the use of force, coercive and disciplinary actions.

Target group: Mainly students, but also staff at LU.

The panel will consist of students and scholars involved in the protection and promotion of student expression across the globe.
