THE Events

Agile universities for an uncertain era: Advancing Arab higher education

We are delighted to be returning to the Arab region to explore the leading role of higher education institutions in supporting the future development of societies across the region. The summit will see the exclusive reveal of the THE Arab University Rankings 2024 and a gala dinner announcing the THE Awards Arab World 2024 winners.

Launched in 2023, this exciting opportunity is the third in our series of events celebrating the very best stories in higher education – stories that rankings do not capture. It shines a light on the inspirational work taking place at higher education institutions in a region that is among the most vibrant and dynamic in the world. Higher education in the Arab World is populated by highly motivated and enthusiastic people whose excellent efforts are driven by a desire to serve the region and the wider world.

Beyond borders: Empowering innovation on a global scale

Asia's rise: A transformative journey in science, technology and innovation

Universities play a pivotal role in fostering a strong research culture across Asia, and commitment to knowledge-driven development has led to groundbreaking discoveries and technological advancements, reshaping global scientific landscapes. The summit will explore the region's ascent as a leading hub for innovation in science, technology, society and research. It will also feature a gala dinner announcing the THE Awards Asia 2025 winners.

Universities are extraordinary institutions that transform the lives of their students, produce research that changes the world, and deliver untold benefits to society and economies. At THE, we want to recognise, support and incentivise excellence by shining a light on exceptional achievements. Following its hugely successful launch in 2019, and with the enthusiasm and support from institutions across the continent, this event has quickly become as prestigious as the original THE Awards in the UK and Ireland. By recognising outstanding leadership and institutional performance across a range of categories, we hope to celebrate excellence in Asian higher education in all its diversity.
