International Education in a Transatlantic Context:
The New Intellectual Challenge


The conference is a one-day seminar gathering teachers, professors, experts and students to assess the current shortcomings and strengths of international education in Europe and the USA. The goal of the seminar is to produce a set of recommendations for improving the situation. Speakers will provide short introductory statements followed by panel discussion.

In a globalized world, where both Europe and the United States are playing international roles, an enhanced understanding of international issues is crucial to accommodate information and values coming from abroad. Without doing so, the fabric of our societies is at stake because democracy only works properly when citizens can make informed policy choices. Language proficiency and international exposure (direct or indirect) are becoming key assets in the constantly widening range of careers. Therefore, international education is central to future prosperity and freedom.


Information on Speakers, Partners & Coordinating Committee is coming soon…
