2011年12月5日和7日，美国科尔盖特大学 Isidor Wallimann教授应邀来必威·BETWAY进行了两场学术交流，报告题目分别为“The Polluter-Pays Principle: From Environmental to Social Policy”和“The Bologna Reform in European Higher Education: Basic Premises and Critical Assessments”。两场学术报告均由公共管理系主办。
    12月5日的报告主要针对“污染者付费”这一原则在社会问题领域的运用展开讨论。“污染者付费”的原则在环境政策领域已取得广泛应用，能否在处理酗酒、吸毒、吸烟、失业等社会问题加以借鉴？这次报告会围绕Wallimann教授发表的德文著作中的部分章节展开。Wallimann教授讨论了“共担成本”与“污染者付费”两种观点的区别，提出了“社会也是一种公共品”的观点，阐述了将“污染者付费”这一理论扩展到社会政策领域的思路。
    12月7日的报告主要针对欧洲高等教育改革这一主题进行交流。博洛尼亚改革计划，其目的在于整合与规范欧洲的高等教育资源，该计划的实施重塑了欧洲高等教育的格局。Wallimann教授就博洛尼亚改革的主要背景、基本内容、改革的要点等进行了介绍，并和同学们讨论了教育的私有化和全球化、教育与培训如何平衡，教学和研究的自由化等具有争议性的问题。
除了必威·BETWAY部分师生出席了两次学术活动外，教育研究院何海燕教授也带领该院一批师生出席了12月7日的学术交流活动，并赠送Wallimann教授纪念礼品。
