Gulf Conferences, a London-based education networking company, will hold its second Middle East Education Thought Leadership Forum in London over three days this month, starting on May 25.
Under the patronage of the secretary-general of the Association of Arab Universities, the forum will feature ministers of education from a number of Arab countries, along with higher-education experts and innovators from around the world.
Leading international experts participating include Michael Murphy, president of the European University Association; Jeff Maggioncalda, chief executive of Coursera; and Graeme Atherton, head of the World Access to Higher Education Day organisation. Ministers and ambassadors from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Libya, and Iraq will also be attending.
The participation of a large number of prestigious international institutions will provide opportunities for Middle Eastern universities and ministries of higher education to establish strategic partnerships with educational institutions in different countries.
