We facilitate dialogue between governments, universities and industry. We contribute by offering fresh perspectives from our network of leading thinkers. The policy dialogues inform and strengthen higher education policies and practices at both national and international level.
Going Global
Our annual conference Going Global to take place 13 – 15 May 2019 in Berlin offers an open forum for global leaders of international education to discuss issues facing the international education community.
Don't miss the next year's theme: 'Knowledge Diplomacy and the Digital World: Does international tertiary education have a role?'.
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.
More than 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.

The conference was held from 30 to 31 March 2017 at the University Politehnica of Bucharest and brought together leaders from higher education sectors in Romania and the UK, policy makers and practitioners to discuss collaborative solutions for helping universities and colleges to work in a more effective way with the local governments and businesses in order to contribute to the success of their cities.
