THE Young Universities Summit 2021
Due to the continuing health concerns associated with the COVID-19 outbreak, THE and HSE University have taken the difficult decision to postpone the Young Universities Summit due to take place on 24-26 June 2020. The summit will now take place on 22-24 June 2021. Our primary concern remains the well-being of our guests, delegates and speakers and as such, we believe postponing is the right thing to do.
The seventh annual Times Higher Education Young Universities Summit will explore and demonstrate how young universities can expand their spheres of influence both globally and locally. In particular, this summit will hear leaders of young universities – defined as higher education institutions established since 1945 – discuss opportunities to further consolidate their reputation and impact at home and abroad. It will be a showcase for thought leadership from both young and long-established institutions, as well as industry and government leaders.
The summit will also feature the global launch of THE data on the performance of young universities globally, and these data will be presented to and interrogated by delegates in order to support understanding of university performance. We will exclusively reveal the THE Young University Rankings 2020, for institutions under the age of 50, and will share the “Golden Age” rankings for institutions founded between 1945 and 1968, and the “Millennials” rankings for universities founded since 2000.
To further enrich the summit’s theme – “Local impact, global influence” – THE experts will host a special data masterclass to examine the development and next steps of THE ’s pioneering University Impact Rankings, based on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
