This conference examines tertiary education policies designed to ensure that the organisation, financing and management of tertiary education help countries achieve their economic and social objectives.

The conference is sponsored by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education of Portugal through the Foundation for Science and Technology and is locally organised by the Instituto Superior de Ciências do Trabalho e da Empresa (ISCTE).

Purpose of the conference
