Every two years we welcome hundreds of delegates from leading institutions in the UAE, and more than fifty countries across the globe. Through this year’s theme of ‘resilience’ we will reflect on the vital lessons learned during the pandemic as well as look to the future as we look to address global issues and progress towards a more sustainable and just future. I’m excited for this year’s programme that brings together diverse perspectives to share their insights. .”
