Following the success of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd , 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th conferences in the series, this conference will focus on the “University Global Ranking: Reality or Myth” captures the growing debate around the legitimacy, fairness, and actual value of global university rankings. It challenges target audiences to question whether these rankings truly reflect the quality of education, research, and impact of institutions or whether they are shaped by selective, Western-centric metrics that create myths about excellence. “Rethinking Quality, Excellence, and Global Competitiveness in Academia”, shifts the focus toward a broader, more inclusive understanding of what constitutes academic success. It encourages higher education stakeholders to move beyond narrow ranking criteria and rethink how global academic excellence should be defined and pursued.
We invite all academics and professionals from Higher Education Institutions (HEI) (universities, colleges and research institutions) and private sector to join us in this global conference to explore innovative strategies, collaborative initiatives, and transformative approaches that empower educational leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to accelerate progress towards the acceleration of the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
During the conference, selection of WASD Top Experts will present their recent reach on SD and answer questions about their future research and studies in the subject.
