In partnership with World University Consortium
Global higher education is in turmoil. A huge surge in demand, soaring costs, and accelerated pace of social evolution provide a compelling need for more relevant, accessible, affordable, quality higher education worldwide. The World University Consortium was established in 2014 by WAAS and partner organizations to evolve and promote development of higher education based on new paradigm content, pedagogy and delivery systems based on a transdisciplinary, human-centered approach. This session will explore the mission, activities and plans of WUC and potential areas for future collaboration.
