Yearly the Eduniversal World Convention takes place in a new geographical zone to highlight the richness and diversity of higher education in the world. After 2 virtual editions, Eduniversal brings back to its initial mission to gather education leaders across borders with a new 4 days in person event.
Africa is not only significant in terms of economy growth, innovations, culture, leadership, politics, ethics, diversity⌠Africa appears also in HE industry as the most promising and dynamic continent of the XXI century. As the second biggest continent in the world, Africa has more than 30 countries represented in the Eduniversal Official Selection with 75 academic institutions in the Best 1000 Business Schools ranking (www.eduniversal-ranking.com). As such, Egypt is appointed as hosting country for the upcoming COP 27 to be held in November 2022.
Gateway to the Nile delta, where the lower Nile separates into the Rosetta and Damietta branches, Cairo is the Africaâs largest city with nearly 9 million inhabitants located in the northeast of the country.
Thus, it appeared obvious to restart our global tour for the second time in Africa and to celebrate the 15th Eduniversal World Convention in the beautiful and so enriching city of Cairo, known as the “mother world” or “city of victory”.
At the 2022 Eduniversal Awards and Trophies of Excellence ceremonies, institutions achievements and results will be celebrated and rewarded.
Expand your academic network meeting in person during the event with your colleagues coming from all over the world.
AUC School of Business will be hosting for the first time the 32nd CEMS Annual Events and 2022 Graduation Ceremony at the Pyramids of Giza. CEMS is the global alliance of leading business schools, multinational companies and NGOs that together offer the CEMS Master in International Management.
Attended both physically and virtually by over 7,000 members of the CEMS community, the event represents an exceptional opportunity to bring together the entire community for discussions, decision-making, networking, and the graduation of CEMS MIM students.
The Annual Events are the highlight of the CEMS year, and consist of a series of academic and corporate meetings and culminate with a special graduation of the CEMS MIM cohort of 1,348 graduates from 78 nationalities.As an education pioneer and regional leader, AUC School of Business officially ratified and joined the CEMS Global Alliance in Management Education in November 2017. The School is the first business school from the Arab region and the African continent to join the CEMS network. In 2019, the School welcomed its first CEMS MIM cohort, and today, 16 students have graduated from the first two cohorts, with the third cohort graduating this year.

Digitalisation, big data, connectivity, and Artificial Intelligence are shaping today’s cities around the globe. It has led to increased productivity, competition and inclusion within and across the economies. Further, it has also led to substantial positive impact on the economic growth performance as well as enhanced the economic integration, both regional and global.
Digitalization has been a prominent channel for the economies in attainment of their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc and its impact has reached every corner of the world. This has divided the timeline into a pre-covid and a post-covid world. Digital transformation has been marked as a defining feature of the post-covid world as it has permeated every aspect of our lives.
Covid-19 has accelerated the digitalization of societies and economies at an unimaginable pace. From helping governments to implementing social protection schemes to enabling e-health and online education, digital technologies have helped business in continuing their operations and trade through e-commerce and digital finance. However, ensuring that the digital transformation happening around us does not become another reason to contribute to the persisting deep inequalities posed as one of the greatest challenges faced by the world. Hence, inclusion must be at the heart of digital transformation to achieve the promise of sustainability of â leaving no one behindâ. The objectives related to inclusiveness need to be embedded in the foundations of digital transformation.
Digitalization has also emerged as the main driver for sustainable development. Businesses are using digital tools to map their environmental footprint and assess the impact of environmental shifts on their business. The focus of the businesses is on how digital transformation can enable firms to become successful while contributing to achieving SDGs. However, the emerging trends are still unexplored on how they are reshaping the market conditions in which organizations operate. Enabling sustainable innovation, these technologies have also created new threats such as cybercrime and privacy loss. While digital transformation is certain, its direction is still uncertain. The true transformative potential of digital technologies can only be realized if it is ensured that the digitalization benefits economies, societies and the environment, and embeds inclusion at its core.
The lead theme for this conference echoes the SDG agenda. They are the critical appraisal of both the empirical and theoretical efficacy of the development goals, effectiveness evaluations of the various metrics used to characterize the goals, and proposals on alternative decision-making tools underpinning sustainable development solutions, in the unfolding world following the Covid-19 pandemic.
We invite all relevant policy makers, academic researchers, think-tank specialists, corporate leaders, and doctoral students to attend this conference. Participants are encouraged to attend and present their ideas and views (through academic or practitioner papers) by submitting their work on the conference lead or subordinate themes.
