The THE Arab Universities Summit 2025 will focus on the leading role of higher education institutions in supporting the future development of societies across the region.

The summit will convene thought-leaders and strategists from higher education, government and industry to discuss how the economic, societal and environmental challenges facing Arab countries can be addressed through the output of greater applicable research, new technologies and innovations, and increased equity and access for learners.

Through keynotes, panel discussions and case studies, we will identify how cross-sector partnerships, enhanced skills provision and greater cultural diversity can ensure that the higher education sector is equipped to drive profound educational transformation and support the progress of local and regional communities.

The summit will see the exclusive reveal of the THE Arab University Rankings 2025, accompanied by an exclusive data masterclass featuring detailed analysis and insights from THE's data team to explore the key findings, trends and stories from the data.

The summit will also feature a gala dinner announcing the THE Awards Arab World 2025 winners. The awards celebrate the very best stories in higher education and are an exciting opportunity to showcase the inspirational work taking place at institutions in the region.
