University of Stavanger | Online
The Stavanger-Lingnan Research Symposium 2022 will be co-organized by the University of Stavanger in Norway and Lingnan University in Hong Kong from October 31, to November 1, 2022 in a hybrid mode.
This research symposium aims to introduce a cross-disciplinary, -sectional, -cultural approach to investigate the intersection between higher education, labor market, and social equality, and to provide insights into higher education systems and related public policies of two regions to tackle existing and emerging challenges in the current pandemic and uncertain futures.
In specific, through the dialogue between the two higher education contexts, this symposium welcomes the abstracts covering the following topics:
· Policies and regulations directing the dynamic changes in higher education
· Graduate employment, graduate entrepreneurship, and transgenerational reproduction
· Higher education in the context of regional innovation, digitalization, and sustainable development
· Individual perceptions and group experiences in a changing academic environment
· International student mobility and wellbeing of international students
· Internationalisation and transnationalisation of higher education: Comparative perspectives
Researchers, faculty, and postgraduate students are welcome to participate in this symposium. Papers presented at the symposium may be invited to be included in a special issue on the topic “International Mobility, University Governance, and Labor Market Relevance: The Nordic and East Asian Perspectives.” The journal information will be posted in due course.
