Brown University, Providence Rhode Island, USA – April 4-5, 2019

Next spring, Brown University and IE University will convene, to the 10th edition of “Reinventing Higher Education” Conference, thought leaders from around the world to tackle questions critical to academia, government and the private sector affecting a future workforce being buffeted by change.

This two-day conference which will be held April 4-5, 2019, at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, being the first time the conference will be held in the United States, will engage key stakeholders to promote a rich discussion on the future of higher education and ways academia, government and the private sector can work together to build the human capital of tomorrow.

The convening will be animated by a key question: How can institutions of higher education, governments, and the private sector respond to meet the needs of a changing workforce, and what opportunities for collaboration exist between all three groups to create more efficient, equitable, and effective models for educational delivery?

Started in 2010 at IE University, Reinventing Higher Education is a symposium, organized with the support of IE Foundation, which aims to bring together university administrators, policy makers, entrepreneurs and top managers, academics, student representatives and media experts to discuss the current status and future evolution of Higher Education (HE), and to debate the direction in which research, learning, governance and management of universities should now go.
