World Academic Summit Media Kit

The Times Higher Education (THE) World Academic Summit has rapidly established itself as the preeminent annual gathering in global higher education, bringing together the leaders from the world’s best and most ambitious universities, Nobel laureates, leading decision-makers from government and industry. This event unites a top-tier delegation around the core theme of “how talent thrives” for three days of engaging and participatory discussion. Four hundred leaders from the world’s best and most ambitious universities and research-led companies will reflect on what are the optimum conditions for human talent to develop and how some of the key obstacles can be overcome. Over three days the summit explores the nature, context and location of talent in the 21st century. As boundaries between institutions become fluid, we will confront the underlying questions of what is the role of universities in creating the ideal environment in which talent thrives and how universities can ensure that they continue to play a vital and transformative role in the new global cultivation of human development.
