In just a couple of hours Cisco will be taking part in one of the largest and most important gatherings for the internationalization of tertiary education. Going Global is an open forum hosted by the British Council that attracts over 1200 participants from 80 countries including education ministers, senior policy makers, presidents and vice-chancellors, researchers, international directors and leaders from the business community. This year, the gathering will take place from March 4 until March 6 in Dubai with discussions anchored under the theme: “Global education: knowledge-based economies for 21st century nations”. 220 speakers will share their insights and experiences on three specific tracks: Research and Innovation, Development of skilled knowledge workers, and the Internationalisation of tertiary education.
This year, Cisco has engaged as Gold Sponsor of the summit and as such it will have a very ample presence including a guided visit to the Cisco campus in Dubai, a panel in the main program of the Going Global Summit, and a 12 sqm exhibition stand. During the Cisco Site Visit on March 4, we will take 40 delegates through a deeper understanding of Cisco’s vision for 21st Century learning as well as the latest technologies and solutions that support high quality education, help improve student outcomes and expand research capabilities. Nigel Thrift, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Warwick will be our guest speaker and we will use the occasion to officially launch our most recent case study on Higher Education transformation: “Powering the Globally Connected Campus ”.
