How can African universities strengthen academic mobility, improve the quality of higher education and work more closely together across national borders?

The Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) invites education professionals, researchers and institutional representatives to a webinar on “Academic Mobility and Higher Education Quality: Catalysing Research and Continental Integration within the Framework of the AfCFTA.”

For universities, research institutions and organisations involved in international education cooperation, the session offers an opportunity to follow current discussions on the development of Africa’s higher education sector.
