Innovative Universities Global Webinar Series

Innovative Universities Global Webinar Series
The cutting-edge of international higher education

Welcome to the Innovative Universities Global Webinar Series!

Here, we spotlight bold and creative higher education institutions reshaping the future of higher education from around the world. Each bi-weekly session features a university that challenges traditional models, offering unique approaches to teaching, research, and governance. 

Join us to explore what drives these institutions, the challenges they overcome, and the insights they share.

The Future
Every shift in higher education was first heralded by universities that tested new ideas. Institutions we feature might end up as exceptions to the rule—or they might become a new normal. Make your predictions!
Inspiration for Today
Practitioners are often caught in routines and are forced to pay more attention to threats and limitations than to opportunities. Our guests will remind you that you once wanted to change higher education… Maybe you still do?
Practical Imagination
Being different is difficult but possible. Our cases will show you how to develop and sustain alternative operating models. And they will also share how not to.
