March 6-7, 2023
On March 6th and 7th, 2023, IE University and the University of Cape Town (UCT) organized the 13th edition of the Reinventing Higher Education Conference.

The theme for the 2023 conference was “New Humans, New Society, New Higher Education” and it focused on future-ready graduates and their vision for higher education, alternative ways to foster the cross-border mobility of students, faculty and knowledge -currently at risk given current geopolitics; south–north partnerships, decolonial methodologies and embracing an Ubuntu vision for global higher education, among other key themes impacting higher ed.
In addition to traditional panels, the 2023 conference included design thinking workshops and an un-conference format, intended to bring inclusivity and disruption to the thinking of the participants and focused on enabling all the attendees – regardless of their level of seniority – to have a voice and to feel that their voice matters.
