Given that universities are often regarded as key players in the process of social change and development, the selected theme fits well with the prevailing discourse on higher education in the region and beyond. Under this larger theme, three topics have been selected:
- Three Core Mission for universities: teaching, research, economic/social development
- Role of universities in regional development - cases from the Black Sea Region
- Internationalization - Challenges and opportunities for HE systems (regional, European and global context)
As a follow up activity to the core thematic discussions covered during the conference sessions, BSUN Congress 2016 will also feature one day brokerage event for BSUN member institutions to share their project ideas and proposals that will focus on higher education development objectives and seek partnerships for joint grant applications matching with the core EU-funding schemes and cooperation in higher education such as Horizon 2020, Erasmus+ Mobility and Capacity Building HigherEducation.
