The EAIE is delighted to welcome Bart Weetjens, Director of the Belgian social enterprise APOPO, as the keynote speaker for the EAIE Opening Plenary. Through a north-south university partnership, APOPO developed HeroRATS. In his keynote, entitled 'HeroRATS: training giant pouched rats for humanitarian detection challenges in Africa', Bart Weetjens will explain how APOPO's activities make a difference in Africa.
For a closer look at the current status of the Bologna process, we are pleased to also welcome Ján Figel, Commissioner for Education, Training, Culture and Youth, who will address the audience at the Opening Plenary.
The conference will be closed with an engaging keynote by Christine Van den Wyngaert, a criminal law expert, and judge at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. In her keynote, entitled: 'The new Europe: human rights, democracy, multiculturalism, and the role of higher education', she will discuss how higher education can be used to impart values such as democracy and help create the 'think tanks' that we need to safeguard our European future and identity.
