Going Global 2017: GLOBAL CITIES: CONNECTING TALENT, DRIVING CHANGE

Monday 22 May to Wednesday 24 May 2017, London

Going Global is an annual conference hosted by the British Council, which offers an open forum for global leaders of international education to discuss current issues. Since 2004, it has grown from a biennial event in the UK to an annual event alternating between the UK and major international cities. In addition to the platform for education world leaders to debate international higher and further education issues and challenges, and to discuss collaborative solutions, the event provides an opportunity for networking, and has become a fixture of the global education calendar.  The conference consists of a series of collaborative sessions that focus on the year’s chosen themes. Over 1,000 registered delegates from across the tertiary (further and higher) education sectors and various other sectors with perspectives on international education attend each year.

Going Global 2017 explores how universities and colleges support city-regional economies and social and civic engagement, connecting the world's cities to global knowledge and talent and addressing global challenges. The following focus areas will be examined:

Research and innovation

Talent development and flows

Societies and communities

Leadership

The call for poster submissions is open until 3 February 2017.
