The Times Higher has been reporting on the UNESCO World Conference on Higher Education which took place last week in Paris. One of the many interns supporting this conference was our very own PhD student, Aurélie Boulos.
Her infrequent missives from inside UNESCO headquarters gave us a small insight into the mammoth task of organizing a global conference at such a high level. We will look forward to hearing more about it when she returns to Galway. In the meantime, we feel comforted by the fact that she is now well-placed to help us organize next year's Galway Symposium on creativity in higher education (also the topic of her PhD thesis).
Symposium '11
The 9th Galway Symposium (June 10/11, 2011) was on student engagement and more details/recordings will be posted here in due course.
