About the Conference
In a rapidly changing world, two of the key priorities international higher education leaders must focus on, are innovation and inclusion. Incorporating technology and the change in paradigms, both are inextricably linked to ethical realities and dilemmas.
Join your fellow university presidents for three days at IAUP Triennial 2021 (Virtual Conference) where we will share, debate and discuss these relevant changes faced by universities worldwide, along with best practices and global networking opportunities.
¡Bienvenidos a México! / Welcome to Mexico!
On behalf of the International Association of University Presidents (IAUP), we invite you to join us at the XIX IAUP Triennial Conference: “Innovation and Inclusion: Key Priorities for Higher Education in a Post Pandemic World”.
