Our Global Annual Meetings attract and engage leading minds in academe, businesses, governments, and the third sector who gather annually in July to debate, influence, and develop programmes that shape higher education innovation agendas in Africa. Our relationship with key decision makers in these sectors means we are a ‘voice of influence’ able to leverage the research insight, knowledge, and policy developed during our meetings to strengthen the capacity of African universities to deliver high quality educational outcomes that enhance youth employability and contribute to their countries’ socio-economic development. As trusted ally for facilitating insightful discussions, knowledge exchange and networking, our priority is to help African universities to overcome their institutional challenges by connecting them globally with highly reputable higher education institutions and industry stakeholders that form the bedrock of our network.
