Join the world’s leading educators and experts in exploring the latest advances in digital innovation at this year’s virtual QS-Wharton Reimagine Education Awards and Conference (6-10 December 2021).
This year’s event brings together leading educational innovators from universities, schools, education technology companies and other stakeholder organisations to participate in panels, workshops and round tables on the theme of The New Remarkable.
Delegates will also be the first to learn the names of the winners of the prestigious QS-Wharton Reimagine Education Awards, including the Global Award Winners who receive US$50,000 in funding.
Across our 16 award categories including Hybrid Learning, Business Education and Nurturing Employability, this year’s award scheme received more than 1,100 applications from 105 countries.
There will be opportunities for delegates to hear pitches from the 120 shortlisted applicants, ask them questions about their work and vote for their favourite innovation.
Reimagine Education founders Nunzio Quacquarelli, CEO of QS Quacquarelli Symonds, and Dr Jerry Wind, Professor Emeritus at The Wharton School, said: “We seek to examine the fundamental ways in which both education and work are going to change over the coming decades – and to make sure the world is prepared for those changes. No one sector has all the answers here. We need government input; we need universities at the table; we need employers to tell us what they need to thrive throughout the fourth industrial revolution.
“So we bring leaders from government educational departments, we bring staff from world-leading universities, and we bring those behind some of the best edtech startups in the world. They come together, and each brings their needs, concerns, and perspectives with them. The result is a forum that does more than perhaps any other to foster an integrated, holistic understanding of the future of education.”
