THE convened a new discussion with government ministers, education leaders, industry investors and leading youth voices to identify, share, challenge and inspire the higher education sector to take a more significant role in accelerating the socio-economic transformation required to achieve net zero.
The forum produced clear and credible opportunities for universities to position themselves to have a greater impact through their teaching, research and public engagement, that will meet the demands of young people from across the world and the policy commitments of government leaders.
New research was launched to reveal the key expectations of the global student community and their proposals for institutional change.
A series of workshops and presentations from leaders across higher education, industry and government focused on how institutions can take action to respond and achieve the potential change that is required.
