Inspired by Vrije Universiteit Brussel's International Equitable Cooperation strategy and aligned with the theme of the rhythm of revolution, this session will challenge the North–South divide in higher education. Drawing on insights from Europe and Africa, we will encourage institutions to rethink cooperation as an equitable, context-driven process of co-creation in which reciprocity replaces aid, shared growth replaces hierarchy, and partnerships create win–win outcomes.
