International Call for Contemporary Generation On Shuffle EP - II Edition

The proposal of the Luiss Business School call focuses on the musical versatility of the contemporary generation. Through the selection of songs that range between different genres and styles, we want to highlight the artistic originality of the new talents. The result of the initiative will consist in the production and publication of an EP containing seven tracks by seven different artists, that will be given the opportunity to express themselves by uniting different influences and musical visions in the same project. The title “On Shuffle” refers to the concept of random playback: the songs of the EP, thanks to their variety, will therefore offer listeners the experience of reproducing tracks as if they were listening to a playlist in shuffle mode. The competition brings to life a new field of cultural innovation, aimed not only at training but also at supporting and identifying young authors nationally and internationally.

International Higher Education at a time of Geopolitical Strife

A seminar organized by Luiss Business School Amsterdam in collaboration with Center for International Higher Education (CIHE) and European Association for International Education (EAIE) Higher education is a complex global enterprise. More than 220 million students study at some 23,000 higher education institutions worldwide. Universities are the single most important source of basic research worldwide, while at the same time educating millions for increasingly knowledge-based economies. The higher education enterprise has undergone dramatic and unprecedented change in the past 70 years—going from a relatively small elite sector to educating more than 70 percent of young people in wealthy countries and a third or more in most of the rest of the world. Massification has been the hallmark of higher education worldwide. At the same time, the global knowledge economy depends on universities for research, communication, and education. Higher education has also become more international. Recently, geopolitical tensions, health pandemics and climate change challenge higher education worldwide. In this seminar, we will address the development of international(ization of) higher education and the implications of geopolitical tensions.  Professor Philip Altbach, a leading scholar in international higher education and founding director of the Boston College Center for International higher Education, will introduce the theme, followed by comments and discussions with other scholars and practitioners and the participants. Participants: Hans de Wit, Professor Emeritus and Distinguished Fellow, Center for International Higher Education Piet Van Hove, President, European Association for International Education Mathias Falkenstein, Professor of Practice in Higher Education Management, Luiss Business School Prof. Dr. Philip G.
