OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This webinar assesses the impact of multilateral and UN conventions in higher education governance. The speakers will reflect on the history and purpose of the different regional UN qualification recognition conventions (including the Bologna convention), the backdrop to the 2022 UNESCO global convention and the different meanings and policy contexts of recognition. The speakers will then introduce the HAQAA initiative, a decade-long partnership between the EU and the African Union that began with a vision to develop a harmonized quality assurance system. Subsequent funding for the partnership (HAQAA2 and HAQAA3) have sought to go beyond developing quality frameworks to promoting higher education policy convergence across the continent, as well as credit transfer schemes, data collection and quality capacity building.
