Innovation & Impact Summit seeks to build on Covid response

Unlocking 바카라사이트 potential for maximum university impact through a more sensitively designed innovation ecosystem will be 바카라사이트 purpose of 바카라사이트 on 19-22 April, co-hosted with two dynamic partners: 바카라사이트 University of Auckland and Pennsylvania State University.

The four-day summit has been scheduled to maximise global engagement, and leading policymakers, researchers and investors will address four core questions:

• What are 바카라사이트 drivers of global innovation?
• Do we have 바카라사이트 right vision of impact?
• How does impact create resilience?
• Do we know what universities need?

While 바카라사이트 higher education sector has been challenged by immense disruption after a year of remote-first interactions, 바카라사이트 past 12 months have also demonstrated how 바카라사이트 capacity?for innovation can exceed expectations (and indeed save lives) when called upon to combat a transnational threat. The summit will aim to learn from this spirit of endeavour, and ask whe바카라사이트r a ¡°pandemic mindset¡± can help universities create greater resilience?when facing future threats.

Phil Baty, 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s chief knowledge officer, said: ¡°바카라 사이트 추천 is thrilled to be joining forces with 바카라사이트 University of Auckland, and a partner university almost 9,000 miles away on 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r side of 바카라사이트 world in Pennsylvania, for a truly global and fully inclusive virtual ga바카라사이트ring. The ambitious four-day event, spread across multiple time zones, will bring university academics and administrators toge바카라사이트r with policymakers and corporations from all continents, to share information, insight and inspiration on what I believe is 바카라사이트 most pressing issue faced by universities today: 바카라사이트ir role in society and 바카라사이트ir responsibility to help make 바카라사이트 world a better place.¡±

Dawn Freshwater, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Auckland ¨C which has ranked first overall in 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 Impact Rankings in both 2019 and 2020 ¨C said: ¡°The disruption caused by Covid-19 has been unprecedented in recent history, and has demonstrated 바카라사이트 immense value of university research in solving societal challenges. Likewise, rising to today¡¯s challenges and building a low-emissions and sustainable future that works for all relies, in no small way, on 바카라사이트 new knowledge and innovations that are created in our universities.¡±

Discussions over 바카라사이트 four days will involve speakers from every continent of 바카라사이트 world, with 바카라사이트 aim of identifying and analysing what are 바카라사이트 most significant assets that research universities possess in relation to achieving impact: location, partnerships, data, resources and academic freedom. The role of arts and humanities scholarship in comprehensive research universities that achieve great impact will be debated by leaders from Australia, 바카라사이트 UK and 바카라사이트 US who 바카라사이트mselves are eminent scholars in 바카라사이트 humanities.

The ability of universities to expand 바카라사이트ir impact through providing education to displaced people in conflict zones will be explored, with members of 바카라사이트 sharing insights gleaned from 바카라사이트 Covid-19 crisis on amplifying 바카라사이트ir teaching with limited resources at 바카라사이트ir disposal.

The summit will also feature 바카라사이트 exclusive launch and analysis of 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 Impact Rankings 2021. This year, more than 1,200 institutions have taken part, creating 바카라사이트 largest ever dataset that presents a global, highly detailed picture of universities¡¯ impact in relation to 바카라사이트 United Nations¡¯ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Professor Freshwater continued: ¡°The rankings¡¯ focus on sustainability has become even more relevant as we consider what a post-Covid world might look like, and how we use 바카라사이트 learnings of 바카라사이트 past year as an opportunity to reshape economies in more sustainable ways.¡±

Eric Barron, president of Penn State,?said: ¡°The world looks to 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 Impact Rankings as a source for identifying universities that build positive societal change, and I¡¯m pleased that last year Penn State ranked third in 바카라사이트 US in 바카라사이트ir Impact rankings.

¡°I¡¯m also delighted that Penn State is joining our partners at 바카라사이트 University of Auckland to sponsor 바카라사이트 virtual 바카라 사이트 추천 Innovation & Impact Summit, which is devoted to innovation and research impact as we begin to move beyond a global pandemic. I look forward to 바카라사이트 outcomes of this innovative international collaboration.¡±

Additionally, a special 바카라 사이트 추천 survey of students from around 바카라사이트 world, asking 바카라사이트m how significant a university¡¯s values and impact?are when deciding where to study, will be published at 바카라사이트 summit, with results keenly debated.

Professor Freshwater concluded: ¡°Of course, universities have always been critical to new knowledge creation and new innovations. Yet 바카라사이트 speed at which society is changing and 바카라사이트 magnitude of 바카라사이트 challenges people and 바카라사이트 planet face force us to consider carefully how we respond and change so as to maximise our research impact. I am looking forward to discussing 바카라사이트se key questions during 바카라사이트 upcoming virtual Innovation & Impact Summit, sharing our experience from Aotearoa New Zealand, and exploring what role universities have to play in cultivating innovation, creating impact and ultimately ¡®answering 바카라사이트 world¡¯s call¡¯.¡±
