“RELEVANCE AND FUTURE OF TERTIARY EDUCATION NETWORKS: The case of SPACE”
Not a history but a brief phenomenological exploration of SPACE, around four assertions about a network’s responsiveness to its members and to society’s expectations, which leads us to an examination of the ups and downs of a network that has never failed to reach a motivated membership, against the many odds.
