We all know how important the link between business schools and the corporate world is for management education. As a result, we want to make this conference a one-of-a-kind forum for discussion and networking among L&D experts from both the supplier and client sides.
Engage with the authors of the EiP – Excellence in Practice award winners in intimate discussion corners, share overall sector trends in interactive panels with learning professionals, and network at the EiP Award Ceremony dinner.
This event attracts a diverse range of learning professionals from corporations and L&D providers such as business schools, executive development centers, and executive education consultancies.
“The landscape of learning & development is evolving so fast, it’s good to reflect with peers and world leading business schools on what we are contributing. EFMD facilitates that in an excellent way and provokes in using the collective brain of corporate learning & executive education. Learning and development is the most powerful way forward to contribute in a sustainable future for organisations and the individual.” – Renate Deken, Randstad, NL

The 2023 ARUA Biennial Conference will bring together experts from universities, research institutions, government, industry, civil society, international organizations, etc., to discuss the potential pathways of reimagining the future of HEIs on the African Continent in the coming decades. How can the projections be altered significantly?
In reflecting on the prominent lessons from other institutions, including those from both the Global North and other Global South regions, the focus of the conference will be on significantly increasing the output of higher education institutions in the region while enhancing the quality of the output to match that in other regions.

The Annual EAIE Conference and Exhibition is a forum for networking and exchanging ideas between peers.
The 2023 EAIE Conference theme ‘Connecting currents’ celebrates the maritime history of Rotterdam and embodies the importance of water to the city, providing economic opportunities as well as existential threats. Rotterdam is the gateway to Europe, a place where river meets sea, ships reach the shore and people from all walks of life come together. In similar ways, international education actively connects ‘currents’ of thought, areas of expertise, disciplines and cultures. From virtual learning to climate action, multilingualism to geopolitics, the currents we navigate as international educators are fast-moving and unpredictable, exciting and important. ‘Connecting currents’ is about making sense of the complex world around us and drawing energy and insight from our diverse and vibrant community.
The Annual EAIE Conference and Exhibition will include:

Ignite© sessions
