‘The significance of tertiary education continues to increase – this is true of education and training generally, but is even more the case when it comes to further development,’ emphasised Professor Michael Hanke, Pro-Rector for Teaching and holder of the Chair of Finance at the University of Liechtenstein, in his keynote speech. ‘This is because in view of the rapid progression of knowledge and increasing expectations in terms of employee qualifications, nowadays it is rarely the case in an education career that you learn something which you can then continue to apply for the rest of your life.’
