On March 7-8, 2024, the University of Miami and IE University hosted the 14th edition of “Reinventing Higher Education”, a conference designed to examine issues set to impact academia, government, and the private sector, as their future workforce continues to face an ever-changing environment. The event, which took place at University of Miami’s Newman Alumni Center, gathered once more experts from all continents to address questions critical to academia, government and the private sector on the role of universities as global agents of innovation and the need for education systems to be responsive as well as catalysts for positive change in our societies.

This edition revolved around the theme of “Reinventing Higher Education: Connecting the Dots”, emphasizing the crucial link between higher education and cross-collaborative innovation to enable all the stakeholders to tackle pressing societal issues. It also highlighted the integration of emerging technologies like AI into the educational landscape, forging a new path for effective teaching and learning. By connecting various domains of knowledge, the event achieved convergent outcomes to propel the field of education forward. In addition, the conference reflected on models such as consortiums and alliances, where each participant contributes to the thriving ecosystem.

Launched in 2010 at IE University, Reinventing Higher Education is a symposium organized in collaboration with the IE Foundation. The overarching aim of the Conference is to provide a platform where university administrators, policy makers, entrepreneurs and top managers, academics, student representatives and media experts can meet to discuss the current status and future evolution of Higher Education (HE), and debate the direction research, learning, governance and management of universities should now take.
