On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, 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.
