Peter WellsThe World Higher Education Conference (WHEC2021) aims at reshaping ideas and practices in higher education to ensure sustainable development for the planet and humanity.
About
The third World Higher Education Conference (WHEC2021) will bring together relevant stakeholders to define and prepare a roadmap for a new era of higher education. This roadmap will respond to the challenges faced by humanity and the planet, with special attention to the global disruption created by the COVID-19. It will look at both the higher education systems (norms, policies, structures, stakeholders) and institutions (universities, specialized entities, networks).
UNESCO is organizing the WHEC2021 to offer new knowledge, innovative ideas creative alliances, and produce an enlarged and reinvigorated coalition of the global higher education community in favour of 2030 Agenda for Development and beyond.
