Enhancing teaching and learning and faculty development at universities in Europe , June 06-10, 2011
Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to apply for the 5th cycle of University Management Workshops at CEU.
Central European University is an internationally recognized institution of post-graduate education in social sciences and humanities. For the past 10 years we have been providing trainings for university professors and since 2006, we have extended our training offers to those working in administration or academic leadership. The resulting workshop series in Higher Education Policy and Management has proved to be a popular new opportunity.
We aim to help you:
· understand the recent developments and trends in university management
· think about the changes affecting your institution in the wider context of higher education policy
· have access to the latest research and communicate with experts in education
· meet colleagues from a wide variety of institutions with whom you can debate issues that affect your work
· Improve your job knowledge and skills
In order to keep up with the latest trends in higher education and to cover as broad a range of topics as possible we update our training programs every year. In 2011, we will be offering two completely news trainings on Higher Education Policy in a Global World and on Research Management. A popular workshop of last year - Enhancing teaching and learning and faculty development at universities in Europe - will make a return this year with a focus on how different institutions embrace change in teaching and learning. This is the time to find out more…
We look forward to welcoming you to Budapest .
Workshop on Higher Education Policy in a Global World
Date: 16-19 February 2011
Europe and the U.S. are in an intense competition for international students with the European Union now proudly announcing that is has more Chinese students than the United States . This workshop will explore the present higher education market and the policies that shape it as they are being developed and implemented across nation states and within regions -although the nature and reality of implementation vary widely. These policies almost always derive from a rhetoric of globalization (often referred to as the imperatives of the “knowledge economy”) that is influencing the very nature of higher education competition: it seems as if everyone wants to be the most competitive, including developing ranking systems and quality assessment measures so that institutions can be in the top 10, 20 or 100, in order to attract more and better students.
Policies to be discussed during workshop include financing, and communication, new governance and managerial structures, development of student services, quality assurance measures, existing relationships between research, teaching, and learning, 'borderless' higher education, and changing labor market needs through life-long learning and alternative post-secondary school institutions. A special focus will be placed on branding and communication as well as on topics indicated by the participants as of interest (prior to the workshop).
The workshop will provide participants with an understanding of how public policies are evolving in higher education across international boundaries and within individual nation states. The knowledge should enhance each participant’s analytic skills with regard to a broad range of policy developments and to apply them to concrete higher education issues.

Deadline for registration is January 20, 2011
Management of Research in Higher Education
Date: 23-26 March, 2011
The pursuit of research alongside teaching and public service is one of the central characteristics of most universities throughout the world. In recent years, research activity has been subject to much scrutiny by governments and funding bodies; on the one hand, research can play a crucial role in local, regional and national economic development, but on the other hand, a new emphasis has emerged on relevance and value for money. This workshop will address many of the key issues facing universities today in the management of research.
Topics to be covered will include: An introduction to research in higher education (history, context, current issues and trends); International systems of research funding and support; developing a research strategy; management of research: policy and practice; evaluation of research; ethics and research governance.
Facilitator: Professor John Taylor

School of Management , University of Liverpool
Deadline for applications is February 10, 2011
Accepted participants will be notified by February 20, 2011
Deadline for registration is March 1, 2011
Enhancing teaching and learning and faculty development
at universities in Europe
Date: 6-9 June 2011
European universities have been undergoing profound change in degree architecture, quality control, funding and management practice. But only some countries and institutions have attempted to systematically develop new policy tools and contemporary professional development programs in the area of teaching and learning. Many professors and their managers struggle to effect change in their own classroom and department or to make high quality teaching a demonstrable practice for the institution.
This management workshop will allow practitioners and managers at universities to become aware of best practice and policy developments in enhancing teaching and learning and faculty development in specific institutions. This workshop combines the expertise of two very different institutional settings (an innovative international social science and humanities graduate school in Central Europe with a wide outreach capacity and a successful large faculty of engineering in Sweden’s oldest university) to discuss two complementary case studies of leadership in teaching and learning, set in the broader European context and global trends in this area of higher education development. The participants will gain insight into the strategic and developmental aspects of policy formulation or agenda setting in teaching and learning, institutional and programmatic components, the scaffolding of support and reward structures for individuals and departments, and underlying principles of good practice in this area of university management. As a result, the participants of this workshop will leave well informed about global trends and ready to strategise and apply concrete approaches in their own institutional contexts.
Facilitators: Joanna Renc-Roe, M.A., Development Manager, CEU
