Workshop Series on Higher Education Policy and Management

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting you to:

• 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 findings in your field and communicate with experts in higher 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

Central European University is offering its Fourth Series of Workshops in Higher Education Policy and Management in collaboration with the Higher Education Support Programme (HESP) of the Open Society Institute, America-Mideast Educational and Training Services Inc. (AMIDEAST) and the Russian Centers for Advanced Study and Education Program (CASE). Every year, CEU offers a range of specialized workshops presented by experts and practitioners in the relevant fields for administrators and academic leaders at every level. All workshops are hosted at our campus in downtown Budapest, Hungary. Each workshop lasts for 3-4 days.

The programme of workshops is designed for university administrators, academic leaders, and those learning to strategise, evaluate and co-ordinate for their institutions. Each workshop consists of 3-4 days of seminar in Budapest with a reading packet accompanying the programme. We welcome junior, middle and senior administrators from our partner institutions in Europe, the former Soviet Union, Central Asia, South-East Europe and Palestine - as well as participants from other institutions from Europe and beyond.

CEU is an internationally recognized institution of post-graduate education in the social sciences and the humanities that has been providing trainings for university professors for more than 10 years. Since 2006, we have extended our training offers to those working in administration or academic leadership . We are accredited in the US and Hungary, and are a Carnegie Leadership Institution for Teaching and Learning.
