We are delighted to announce a two-day joint symposium between the Centre for Global Higher Education and East China Normal University (ECNU). This event will showcase cutting-edge research and foster academic communication and collaboration between scholars and students from both institutions.

Programme highlights:

16 July (ECNU Academic Presentations): Faculty members from ECNU will briefly introduce ECNU’s Institute of Higher Education, Institute of International and Comparative Education, and Department of Education, followed by presentations on their work and discussions with Oxford researchers.
17 July (Early-Career Researcher Symposium): Postgraduate students from Oxford and ECNU will share their research on higher education, comparative and international education, as well as the philosophy of education.

This two-day joint event offers a unique opportunity to engage with scholars from ECNU, to establish a shared, open, cross-cultural dialogue on the status quo and future of education, and to strengthen ties between our academic communities.

Open to all researchers, students, and faculty members. All are welcome, and we very much look forward to seeing many of you there. For more details, including the full schedule, please see the event programme.
