In partnership with the American University of the Middle East, the THE MENA Universities Summit 2022 will focus on how universities can best collaborate with partners to identify and address skills gaps, as well as secure human resources for the future growth and development of the region.
We will also explore how the transition to a knowledge-based, sustainable economy can be catalysed through employing and embedding new educational models, such as micro-credentialing and lifelong learning.
Higher education leaders and strategists, government and industry representatives will convene to discuss how the economic and environmental challenges facing the MENA region are driving a need to transform tertiary education. With speakers from around the world providing case studies and thought leadership, we will identify the opportunities for universities to be at the heart of this profound educational transformation and how leaders can make positive reforms.
Agenda themes:
- How universities can best collaborate with government and industry to identify and address future skills shortages
- How a culture of lifelong learning can be embedded and promoted to establish societal change
- The best models for rapid knowledge acquisition and how these can be rolled out at scale
- How universities can balance employability goals with a drive for research excellence
- How micro-credentialing quality and relevance can be assured
