Scenarios, Dilemmas, and Pathways to European Higher Education

  • Chapter
European and Latin American Higher Education Between Mirrors

Abstract

Departing from the study on futures carried out by the Center for Higher Education Policy Studies (CHEPS) (Enders, et al., 2005), I am attempting to discuss the map of these plausible futures for European higher education. Based on the Delphi and the scenario-writing methods, three possible futures for European higher education and research were traced, having 2020 as a time horizon.
