Conference for Higher Education Research (CHER) – Hong Kong 2022

 

Higher Education in Turbulent Times:

Striving for a Bright Future through Collaborations

 

 

18–19 November 2022
Lingnan University, Hong Kong | Hybrid

 

 

Higher education around the world is still feeling the tremendous impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but that is just one of the pressing challenges affecting the sector. In different ways, institutions everywhere must also come to terms with a wide range of issues linked to nationalism, protectionism, and increasing geopolitical tensions among the major powers. The effects of the pandemic dramatically hindered international mobility for students and scholars. And while “going online” made it possible to continue classes and academic exchanges in a virtual environment, the experience also brought to light that clearly there are inequalities of access and opportunity in key areas of higher education.

 

This year has brought its own series of difficulties. The ramifications of superpower rivalries have created new obstacles for international collaboration, leaving researchers and administrators to contend with the realities of an increasingly divided and polarised world.

 

Despite that, all stakeholders in the field of higher education know they can work together to get through these turbulent times and build a brighter future. They understand their responsibility to continue teaching innovative courses, developing talent, supporting scientific research, and promoting community service. And they are fully committed to the benefits of close collaboration at all levels – local, regional and global.

 

With that in mind, this year’s Conference for Higher Education Research – Hong Kong (CHER – Hong Kong) aims to foster dialogues on the best way ahead and the type of approach required for the sector to meet current and future challenges. There will be a special focus on the following topics:

 

• Geopolitics and International Higher Education
• Higher Education Access and Inclusive Education
• COVID-19 Pandemic and Higher Education
• Higher Education Collaborations
• Quality Assurance in Higher Education
• Higher Education Teaching and Learning Innovations
• Emerging Higher Education Research Directions
