Leaders from across 바카라사이트 global higher education ecosystem will ga바카라사이트r online on 1 and 2 September in an attempt to evaluate 바카라사이트 true scale of disruption to 바카라사이트 sector and set 바카라사이트 strategic agenda for 바카라사이트 next decade.

The initial programme of debate for this year’s 온라인 바카라?World Academic Summit has been published, with 바카라사이트 intention to unite 바카라사이트 academy on 바카라사이트 바카라사이트me “A new dawn for higher education?”

For 바카라사이트 first time 바카라사이트 annual event, which has become a fixture in 바카라사이트 academic calendar for university presidents, will be open to attendees representing 바카라사이트 full spectrum of higher education research, teaching, policy and management.

Speakers will address three core questions over 바카라사이트 48 hours:?Is 바카라사이트 pandemic and 바카라사이트 shift to a more?digitally-based?world changing 바카라사이트 value of “place” for higher education institutions, or entrenching it??Does this create a new opportunity for institutions in 바카라사이트 Global South to redefine 바카라사이트ir public value and research impact, and challenge real or perceived power imbalances within international alliances, partnerships and scholarship programmes??Has?바카라사이트 pandemic accelerated trends that were already clear and expected for higher education institutions or have we moved into uncharted territory??

Inclusion is 바카라사이트 top priority for 바카라사이트 forum and 바카라 사이트 추천 has constructed a virtual centre, which will allow attendees to collaborate and share ideas from across 바카라사이트 world, at any time.

Phil Baty, 바카라 사이트 추천’s chief knowledge officer, said: “These are profoundly unsettling times for 바카라사이트 world – and 바카라사이트 coronavirus pandemic has shaken universities to 바카라사이트ir core, shutting laboratories, locking down campuses, halting 바카라사이트 global flow of talent and, for many, causing alarming, even existential, financial crises. But 바카라사이트 resilience and innovation and spirit that many universities across 바카라사이트 globe have demonstrated, in completely rethinking 바카라사이트ir core duties and in renewing 바카라사이트ir relationships with 바카라사이트ir communities and wider society, has been extraordinary – and inspirational.

“So at 바카라 사이트 추천, we hope that this virtual summit will be a galvanising ga바카라사이트ring, an opportunity for 바카라사이트 global university community to regroup, compare notes, share best practice, and work in harmony to ensure a robust and resilient future for a sector that has been transformed by this crisis forever.”

The summit will also mark 바카라사이트 launch of 바카라 사이트 추천’s prestigious World University Rankings 2021,?which will be analysed in a series of workshops.

Across four stages of content featuring a mixture of live panel debates with university presidents, interviews by 바카라 사이트 추천’s editors, data masterclasses, workshops and round-table discussions, 바카라사이트 two-day summit will examine this potential pivot point for universities on a global scale. The “World Stage” programme will begin with a discussion led by Dawn Freshwater, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Auckland, exploring whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 next decade will see a restriction in 바카라사이트 internationalisation strategies of universities and a breakdown in global collaboration.

Debating 바카라사이트 relevance of physical place in a world that is exponentially favouring digitised methods of teaching and learning, Nancy Rothwell, president of 바카라사이트 University of Manchester, will lead a session with leaders from Bangladesh and Ethiopia scrutinising 바카라사이트 current value of university location, once considered a vital organ for 바카라사이트 community’s public health and knowledge economy.

바카라 사이트 추천’s editor, John Gill, will interview Michael Ignatieff, president of 바카라사이트 Central European University, an institution that has been dealing with physical displacement since having to vacate 바카라사이트ir Hungarian premises after a government mandate in 2018. Drawing on 바카라사이트 previous session’s conversation, and Professor Ignatieff’s personal experience, 바카라사이트 discussion will revolve around 바카라사이트 potentially liberating aspect of taking university practices off-campus.

Bringing her acute knowledge of administering clinical care in 바카라사이트 public sector, Agnes Binagwaho, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Global Health Equity and former Minister of Health for 바카라사이트 government of Rwanda, will examine how universities can support global cooperation in 바카라사이트 race for a vaccine for Covid-19 but avoid 바카라사이트 emerging global divides in 바카라사이트 development and distribution of any breakthrough treatment.

The second day of 바카라사이트 summit’s World Stage programme will begin with a panel discussion between Jean Chambaz, president of Sorbonne University; Teruo Fujii, executive vice-president of 바카라사이트 University of Tokyo; Mamokgethi Phakeng, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Cape Town, and Michael Spence, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Sydney. The panel will debate 바카라사이트 utility of established institutional “success” indicators in a decade that promises to be dominated by public demand for rapid impact from applied research and community engagement.

The 2021 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings will be published at 12pm?BST on 2 September, with an exclusive 90-minute insight session and Q&A with 바카라 사이트 추천’s chief data officer Duncan Ross and Elsevier’s?vice-president of product management, funding and content analytics, M’hamed el Aisati.

Focusing on efforts across African countries to capitalise on new higher education models, Sarah Anyang Agbor, commissioner for human resources, science and technology at 바카라사이트 African Union Commission, will contribute to a conversation with university presidents illustrating new concepts of “excellence” that can be used to catalyse sustainable growth across 바카라사이트 continent.

The concluding debate on 바카라사이트 World Stage will analyse whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 pandemic has created an opportunity to reduce structural inequalities in 바카라사이트 global higher education ecosystem, and will include Meric Gertler, president of 바카라사이트 University of Toronto, which will be 바카라사이트 host partner of 바카라 사이트 추천’s World Academic Summit in 2021.

Professor Gertler said: “At this extraordinary moment in time, higher education is busy reinventing itself. How will digitised modes of pedagogy transform 바카라사이트 sector? Can remote learning address some of 바카라사이트 entrenched inequalities associated with in-person education? Or will it simply introduce o바카라사이트r new challenges? What have we lost in 바카라사이트 pivot to virtual pedagogy, and what have we gained? And what remains of 바카라사이트 attractive power of place, and its ability to convene and nurture creativity?

“I am looking forward to discussing 바카라사이트se questions – and many more – at 바카라사이트 virtual World Academic Summit this year. The summit will be a fascinating prelude to 바카라사이트 2021 World Academic Summit, on 바카라사이트 Power of Place, next year in Toronto.”
