Language: English
Series: First

The Conference of Rectors, Vice-chancellors and Presidents (COREVIP) is organized every two years by the Association of African Universities.

As is evident from recent studies and conferences, the age-old problem of the “brain drain” requires a new approach, one that takes into account the multiple features of the phenomenon, brings together the various players, and seeks to establish their most productive roles in the African development project.

The Conference will provide an excellent opportunity for leaders of African higher education institutions to exchange experiences and draw on the lessons from institutions working with African professionals and academics in the Diaspora. There will also be an opportunity to hear from both regional and international organisations involved in African brain drain and “brain gain” initiatives. A particular aim of the Conference will be to help AAU member institutions identify and develop specific, concrete activities that they can undertake to reduce the negative aspects of the “brain drain”, while taking full advantage of the pool of African talent worldwide.
