Next to the traditional mission of creation and transmission of knowledge, universities are now also societal institutions. Contemporaneously, in many countries in Southern Europe, the investments in the Higher Education sector are dramatically decreasing, raising doubts on the sustainability of the system. In this workshop we aim to investigate these issues in a comparative perspective: keynote speakers, research papers and a round table with the participation of eminent experts from all over Europe will stimulate the discussion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workshop Programme<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>9.15 Welcome address<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Alberto Brugnoli<\/strong>, \u00c9upolis Lombardia, Director<br \/>\n<strong>Mariella Enoc<\/strong>, Fondazione Cariplo, Deputy President<br \/>\n<strong>Marco Mancini<\/strong>, University of Tuscia, Rector; CRUI, President<\/p>\n<p><em>9.45 Keynote Speech<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Maria Helena Nazar\u00e9<\/strong>, EUA, President<br \/>\n<strong>Stronger Universities for a stronger Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>11.00 Research session:<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>&#8220;University and Society&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nChair: <strong>Silvio Vismara<\/strong>, University of Bergamo<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michele Meoli<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Remo Morzenti Pellegrini<\/strong>,<br \/>\nUniversity of Bergamo<br \/>\n<strong>The new challenges for Italian Universities after the reform of<br \/>\nUniversity Gorvernance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Manuel Valsassina Heitor<\/strong>, Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisboa<br \/>\n<strong>The internationalization of European Universities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Marino Regini<\/strong>, University of Milan<br \/>\n<strong>Social demands and university differentiation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Erik Lehmann<\/strong>, University of Augsburg<br \/>\n<strong>European Universities on the cross road: More Market or more Hierarchy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>14.15 Opening of the afternoon session<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Francesco Profumo<\/strong>, Minister of Education, University and Research<\/p>\n<p><em>15.00 Round table:<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>&#8220;Challenges and Opportunities for European Universities&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nChair: <strong>Piero Bassetti<\/strong>, Foundation Giannino Bassetti, President<\/p>\n<p><em>With:<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Maria Helena Nazar\u00e9<\/strong>, EUA, President<br \/>\n<strong>Stefano Paleari<\/strong>, University of Bergamo, Rector; CRUI, General Secretary<br \/>\n<strong>Istv\u00e1n F\u00e1bi\u00e1n<\/strong>, University of Debrecen, Rector<br \/>\n<strong>Martin Paul<\/strong>, Maastricht University, President<br \/>\n<strong>Jiri Zlatuska<\/strong>, Masaryk University, Vice-Chairman of the Council of Czech Higher Education<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/ita\/segnalazioni\/doc\/HE%20Workshop_15%20October_3oct.pdf\" title=\"pdf -
