Achieving international standards of excellence

Tomorrow I'll attend a conference on how to improve teaching and learning at Danish universities. The conference - of course - is motivated by the desire to get a head start in the so-called global knowledge race. I'm especially looking forward to the political debate. The panel is a good mix of politicians representing a broad political spectrum (starting from the left!): The Socialist People's Party, The Social Democrats, Venstre (The Liberal Party) and The Danish People's Party. It's going to be very interesting to see what these four very different politicians will come up with. Will they, to start with, agree on the importance of the issue?
