UNIVEN Participates in IMPALA SCM at the University of Bologna
The IMPALA project is a network of European and South African universities and educational organisations to respond to the needs in the South African higher education community (and in the world). The project strives to further develop and modernise internationalisation strategies as South African universities. The training will prepare historically disadvantaged universities in South Africa to participate in the international higher education scene on an equal basis.
