The organization and the future of higher education in France are the subject of many debates all across the political spectrum. During the CIRRES - Cercle Initiatives et Réflexions sur la Recherche, l'Éducation et la Science - founding conference Demain, L’Université - Tomorrow, the University five round tables grouped university actors, administrative decision-makers, actors in the socio-economic sector and top-ranking political personalities.
- What are the missions of the university in the education of future citizens?
- How can the university ensure lifelong education and how can new technologies facilitate continuing education?
- How can academic knowledge contribute to the expert knowledge on which political and administrative decisions are increasingly based?
- How, starting from its own domains, can the university win more autonomy and open itself more to outside influences?
These are all major questions about higher education to which this book seeks to provide the outlines for some answers.
