An ACA European Policy Seminar held in Brussels on 4 April 2008
This ACA European Policy Seminar provides an introduction and a constructive critique of international rankings and league tables. It will introduce and explain the major methodologies in use today, such as those of the Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) and of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Likewise, it will also introduce new approaches, such as the discipline- specific rankings of the German Centre for Higher Education Development (CHE). The OECD will present its feasibility study for what some call already a 'PISA for Higher Education'.
ACA is proud to have won the following high-calibre specialists as presenters at this seminar: Andreas Schleicher (OECD), Gero Federkeil (CHE), Torsten Kälvemark (formerly of HSV), Christian Tauch (European Commission), Tim Rogers (IEC) and Waldemar Siwinski (Perspektywy Foundation).
