1 June 2021 – The 2007 Cairo Declaration aspired towards the creation of a Euro-Mediterranean Higher Education and Research Area. Almost 15 years have passed since then, establishing the necessity to rethink the needs and aims of higher education against current challenges and opportunities. To this end, the CMI and the UfM organize a web-meeting to offer a space for a dynamic discussion, aimed at laying the bases for a renewed agenda on higher education in the Mediterranean region. The event will allow decision-makers, practitioners and experts to discuss topics relevant to the improvement of higher education quality in the region and to share best practices and recommendations, which the UfM and CMI will then synthetize, proposing a way forward to relevant stakeholders. The discussions will help to boost engagement at the political level and push towards charting a path for possible future UfM Ministerial declarations.
