Cartographier l'avenir des universités britanniques dans un monde en mutation
Les prix peuvent-ils encore briller? est édité par Hugo de Burgh (rédacteur en chef de la Chine en Grande-Bretagne, professeur de journalisme et directeur du China Media Centre à l'Université de Westminster), Anna Fazackerley (directeur de l'éducation Think Tank Agora) et Jeremy Black (professeur d'histoire à l'Université d'Exeter). Il s'agit de la publication inaugurale d'Agora, un nouveau groupe de réflexion indépendant axé sur l'avenir de nos universités, et offre un aperçu fascinant des institutions universitaires britanniques dans un monde en constante évolution.
Trente-quatre contributeurs, dont huit vice-chanceliers (et bien sûr notre propre Terence Kealey), des politiciens, des chefs d'entreprise et des universitaires issus de divers milieux disciplinaires et une gamme d'institutions ont écrit des essais personnels décrivant où se trouvent les universités maintenant et où elles devraient être.
Entre eux, ces penseurs engagés s'attaquent à l'ensemble du spectre de l'enseignement supérieur. Individuellement et collectivement, ils font face à de nombreux problèmes importants et inconfortables auxquels la Grande-Bretagne est confrontée, présentent certaines des solutions dont les institutions individuelles sont fières, et définissent le type de décisions et d'actions difficiles que les politiciens et les dirigeants universitaires doivent entreprendre pour que les institutions britanniques correspondent aux progrès rapides évidents ailleurs dans le monde.

Do academics still think? Is this the student experience? What is the future of science? Funding and freedom where are we going wrong? Are Mickey Mouse degrees crucial to the economy? Should we understand the Bologna Process? How do we select students for universities of the future? What does globalisation mean for research and teaching? Can The Prizes Still Glitter? is the inaugural publication of Agora, a new independent think tank focusing on the future of our universities. Thirty-four high profile vice chancellors, politicians, business people and academics from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and a range of institutions have written personal essays about where universities are now and where they ought to be. Between them they tackle the whole spectrum of higher education. They confront many of the big and often-uncomfortable issues Britain needs to face up to, exhibit some of the solutions of which individual institutions are proud, and outline the kind of tough decisions that politicians and university leaders need to take if British institutions are to match rapid progress elsewhere in the world.
