The Geopolitics of Higher Education: A New IFCU Report

The geopolitical tensions that are now dominating the international landscape had been brewing for years, making it clear even before Russia’s war against Ukraine that the global order was transitioning back toward great-power politics. Higher education has been playing a prominent role in this shifting alignment, as a significant instrument of soft power and vector of global influence – which means that university leaders need to pay more attention to their regional and the global geopolitical environment. This webinar presents a report recently published by IFCU on the subject and invite participants to discuss the implications for universities of the dramatic transformations underway in the global order. http://www.fiuc.org
