The 5th International Higher Education Studies Conference (IHEC 2021)

05 Jan 2022

The whole world has been going through a difficult time. The breakout of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, has not only overwhelmed national health systems, but also resulted in border closures, lockdown of people at home, suspension of public services and severe economic contractions across the world. This has inevitably impacted the way we engage in higher education. Still, engagement or participation has always been one of the foci of higher education studies

The members of higher education participated this conference in order to reflect on their participation before, during and after the pandemic regarding teaching, research, community service and the administration of universities.

AGU International Office also attended this conference and presented the paper on “Cultural Match in Norm Creation: The Impact of Erasmus+ on EU Integration Process” and the participants discussed the effects of COVID-19 on international exchange programs.
