especially its international dimension? The mobilization of both internal and external resources to revitalize African universities to enable them address these challenges is an important agenda. The recently concluded Africa Higher Education summit recognized
this and identified the critical issues for the future of higher education in Africa. The international dimension of higher education, especially research partnerships and mobility attained lots of emphasis. The 6th ANIE Annual Conference brings together higher
education leaders, opinion shapers, researchers and practitioners to debate on these salient and timely topics. It will discuss the impacts of partnerships on research and innovations, mobility, access, management and governance practices, capacity building
and knowledge sharing and their relations to the MDGs and to their role in the debates and formulations of the new SDGs.
