The CGHE, based at UCL Institute of Education, is the largest research centre in the world specifically focused on higher education and its future development. OBREAL is honored to have designed and developed this webinar series alongside this relevant institution.
Webinar 1: On not going global – the case for inter-regional higher education dialogue
In the first webinar of this CGHE-OBREAL webinar series, Ramon Torrent, President of OBREAL, presented the organization’s perspective on the importance of inter-regional higher education dialogue.
In a conversation with the CGHE President and Oxford professor David Mills, he differentiated between types of collaborations—international, global, regional, and inter-regional—using examples, and provided a framework to understand these dialogues. Torrent also highlighted the role of university associations in inter-regional collaborations and emphasized OBREAL’s efforts in promoting South–South–North(s) dialogue, discussing its impact and future.
