💡 Social responsibility

 

This spotlight session, led by speakers from affected regions, will look at how opportunities to support and learn from universities in conflict areas have been neglected in the international higher education field. Consequently, their struggles are not well known and requests for support and sustained efforts to recover and rebuild have been silenced. We will highlight that crisis and conflict do not diminish international higher education but rather lead to the reinvention of educational spaces.
