Launch of the IAU-BBC Documentary Series on Higher Education: "IAU Aiming Higher "
|
| |
IAU cooperated with BBC StoryWorks, to produce a video series promoting the role of universities as catalysts for the development of sustainable and democratic societies.
The purpose of this series is to reaffirm the fundamental values of higher education and its role in transforming societies. In order to do this, IAU invited Members to share impactful and innovative initiatives that show how the core university values for which they stand translate into action.
BBC StoryWorks’ creative teams have worked with some 30 institutions around the world, to produce mini documentary-style films and bring to screen these meaningful stories, as diverse as IAU's Membership. The 30 mini-films form a captivating patchwork illustrating the essential contribution of higher education to societal development worldwide.
The official launch of the project will take place at IAU 2019 International Conference in Puebla, Mexico in November. It will present excerpts from the videos of the Members who participated in the project, among which six of them will discuss in plenary the purposes, impacts and challenges of implementing the inspiring projects that they chose to present in the films.
In the meantime, we invite you to discover the trailer of the series, presenting the aim of the IAU Aiming Higher series and setting the scene for the following 30 exciting mini-films from our Members.
IAU thanks Arts et Métiers Paris Tech, the IAU Member who accepted to host the shooting of the video.

IAU joins the Advisory Board of the UNESCO 'Futures of Education' initiative
|
| |
UNESCO's Futures of Education initiative aims to catalyse a global debate on how knowledge, education and learning need to be reimagined in a world of increasing complexity, uncertainty, and precarity. It relies on a broad, open consultative process that involves youth, educators, civil society, governments, business and other stakeholders. IAU is delighted to have been invited to join the High-level International Commission of thought-leaders from diverse fields and regions that will lead this important work. In 2021, the Commission will publish a report designed to share a forward looking vision of what education and learning might yet become and offer a policy agenda.

Join the call for an ambitious Horizon Europe budget
|
| |
The European Association of Universities (EUA) and 14 other associations, along with a growing number of signatories, are calling for an ambitious European budget for research, education and innovation. The call urges EU leaders to strengthen R&I by investing at least €120 billion in Horizon Europe as negotiations on the EU’s Multiannual Financial Framework come to a head. Such a budget would be essential in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and in building a prosperous future for European societies. The call is open to receive support from organisations at national and European levels.
