Doha: The World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), an initiative of Qatar Foundation (QF), is to hold a one-day forum as part of the Global Goals Week, a series of events taking place during the United Nations General Assembly under the UN Foundation.
The WISE@NY forum will take place in New York on September 22, under the theme ‘Learning Revolutions: Creating Educational Environments for Empowerment and Inclusion’, for education stakeholders and change-makers to explore innovation in education and re-imagine learning environments.
By showcasing education enterprises and projects from its global programmes – the WISE Awards and the WISE Accelerator – WISE@NY aims to demonstrate the positive role that innovation can play in enhancing access to education and improving learning outcomes.
In the 2016 WISE Accelerator, Kepler, based in Rwanda, scaled its new university model across Africa with education-to-employment support and US-accredited degrees.
