The second day of the OPEN COST Action conference was kicked off by Professor Meng-Hsuan Chou from NTU Singapore with a keynote on the migration - higher education nexus. This was followed by the closing keynote by Professor Peter Maassen from University of Oslo highlighting the importance of close European collaboration on the monitoring of academic freedom.

A heartfelt thanks to all the participants for their inspiring and insightful comments during the conference. Very promising indeed for the future scholarship on the openness of higher education and research, not least when it comes to challenges concerning academic freedom. A very special thanks to Sara Diogo from the University of Aveiro for her invaluable contribution in making this conference possible.
