➨ INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION IN RESEARCH IN TIMES OF COVID-19, in collaboration with Boston College Center for International Higher Education
Tuesday, 22 September 2020 | 2:30pm - 4:00pm CEST (Paris time)
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a paradox in that it weakened international collaboration in research while it is needed more than ever. A solution to a global pandemic can only be found through global cooperation in research, but various forces are at play and competition between countries and HEIs themselves might hinder it. The current crisis could also affect HEIs’ capacity to engage in research at international level and therefore, lead to a growth in inequality.
This webinar will discuss the threats and opportunities that may emerge from COVID-19 as far as international collaboration in research is concerned.
Invited Panelists:
- Amanda Crowfoot, Secretary General, European University Association
- Ernest Aryeetey, Secretary-General, African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA)
Moderator: Hans de Wit, Director, Boston College Center for International Higher Education

The IAU Global Cluster on HESD serves as an example of how the IAU fosters engagement of universities with SDGs and monitors developments with reports and surveys.
