International Conclave on Next-Gen Higher Education

In an era defined by rapid technological advancements, evolving societal demands, and a highly interconnected world, higher education must be reimagined to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities of the 21st century. Kerala is at the forefront of this educational transformation. This international conclave aims to be a dynamic platform to collaboratively address these issues and explore transformative strategies that will shape the future of higher education.

The conclave will bring together a diverse array of thought leaders and key stakeholders to explore cutting-edge approaches and share best practices in research, curriculum design, financial sustainability, assessment, international collaboration, integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, among others. The discussions will not only highlight emerging trends but also foster meaningful changes that have the potential to impact the State’s higher education system.
