THE GLION COLLOQUIUM
For more than 25 years, the Glion Colloquium has provided a biennial forum for leaders of research universities to consider together the role that the world’s leading universities should play in addressing the great challenges and opportunities facing society today. These activities, consisting of papers prepared by participants prior to several days of intense discussion in Glion, Switzerland, are captured in subsequent books that are distributed worldwide. The main contributions of the Glion Colloquium Association are the following:
- The changing purpose, role, and relationships of research universities in the service of society
- The changing nature of discovery, learning, and innovation, driven by the changing needs of society, government policy, and technology
- The particular nature of resilience of research universities over the world in a changing environment
- The complex issues of the cost, price, and value of higher education, or more specifically, who benefits and who pays for research universities as well as academic freedom
