Vienna University of Economics and Business | CHER 35th Annual Conference
Participants are invited to submit a proposal for a paper, a poster or a panel on a topic that is relevant to the conference theme "Higher Education Institutions as Change Agents in Society: Perspectives on Adaptation and Impact".
The changing role of higher education institutions (HEIs) in society has become a point of reference among policy makers, university leaders and the academic community across the world. Being among the oldest institutions to date, universities have always been subject to changes in their institutional environments. In the 21st century, however, these changes have become more rapid and disruptive. Societies are not only confronted with multifaceted challenges related to sustainability, technology, social disparities and geopolitical tensions, but also a situation of crisis resulting from a global pandemic, war, energy shortages and inflation.
Participants are invited to submit a proposal for a paper, a poster or a panel on a topic that is relevant to the conference theme "Higher Education Institutions as Change Agents in Society: Perspectives on Adaptation and Impact". A paper presentation refers to a presentation delivered by one or several authors or collaborators on a particular research topic. A poster presentation is generally suitable for preliminary studies or early stage research projects. A panel generally comprises a series of 3-4 presentations on a common research topic delivered by a group of authors facilitated by a moderator. For a panel format, a joint proposal is expected.
