Presentation of the TRESAL Survey (Trends in Higher Education in Latin America)
Carried out jointly with ENLACES and with the technical support of LINED, Argentina, the TRESAL survey aims to systematically collect data on the main institutional trends in Latin America and the Caribbean in order to put them at the service of the consolidation of the Latin American and Caribbean Higher Education Area (ENLACES).
The first version of TRESAL was launched in 2013, in the context of the ALFA PUENTES project and was inspired by the TRENDS survey produced by the European University Association. This new edition of TRESAL is inspired by that first exercise and is presented as a legitimate regional instrument that contributes to a better understanding of regional dynamics and trends in Higher Education in Latin America.
TRESAL is aimed at higher education institutions in Latin America and will be distributed in each country by the corresponding association(s) of universities and council(s) of rectors that are members and partners of ENLACES and OBREAL Global.
It also has the participation and support of university associations and universities in Latin America (including ASCUN in Colombia, ANUIES in Mexico, CSUCA in Central America, ANDIFES in Brazil, FAUBAI in Brazil, AUGM in Uruguay and the Universidad Veracruzana in Mexico) and the EU-LAC Foundation.
Cocktail-Debate – Higher Education and the SDGs: Interregional Perspectives
Co-organised with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the African Association of Universities (AAU) and the Latin American and Caribbean Higher Education Area (ENLACES), and with the support of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Spanish Service for the Internationalisation of Education (SEPIE), the African Union, the EU-LAC Foundation, the University of Barcelona, the HAQAA initiative and the Colombian Association of Universities (ASCUN), this debate and cocktail was the opportunity to share interregional perspectives on how higher education institutions are tackling the SDGs and how cooperation is essential for this feat.
