Focused on the theme of collaboration, this 10th-anniversary edition of the THE World Academic Summit examined the role of higher education, industry and policy thought-leaders in diversifying and broadening ambitions and approaches to current global education systems.

Over 550 delegates from almost 50 countries gathered at The University of Sydney to explore how regional, national and global collaboration can strengthen the role of universities as key drivers of change within society.

Agenda themes:

• Promoting gender equity and diversity
• Integrating multidisciplinary research initiatives
• Increasing cross-community collaboration
• Adopting new methods of teaching and learning

Some of the world’s most influential leaders and change-makers discussed how institutions can best collaborate; both internally across departments to accelerate transformative and translational research and externally through partnerships with industry, government and civil society to advance the implementation of world-class innovation.
