15:30 – 16:30 CEST, 19 September 2024 ‐ 1 hour

EAIE session

In higher education, like in many fields, there is a growing pressure on performance and data - to measure is to know. Ranking the stars becomes ranking the institutions. In this competitive world, it is essential to take a step back and discuss what actually matters. Therefore, the EAIE invites you to take a moment and reflect on the importance and impact of university rankings. In this year’s EAIE Debate, we bring together speakers to argue for or against the statement: 'University rankings don’t make sense'. Join this energetic debate and, ultimately, decide which team has the most convincing arguments – all EAIE style!
