We are delighted to announce that we are continuing our seminar series “Constructor Conversations” with experts in higher education and science. We started this series last year with the presentations of Professor John Douglas from UC Berkeley and Dr. Dorothea Rüland from Hamburg Institute for Advanced Studies.

The seminar series aims to provide our faculty, students and staff with a platform to engage in informed discussions about current trends, challenges, opportunities, and interesting practices in higher education.

Our first guest this fall is Dr. Miguel Antonio Lim, Senior Lecturer in Education at the University of Manchester and one of the world’s leading experts in Southeast Asian higher education.

We cordially invite you to join the discussion, moderated by Prof. Dr. Isak Frumin, Head of the Observatory of Higher Education Innovations. Dr Lim will present a current picture of higher education in Southeast Asia and will be happy to answer a broad spectrum of questions related to British and international higher education.
