The 2023 edition of the biennial World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), an initiative of Qatar Foundation, will be on November 28-29, a top official said.
Speaking on the sidelines of Doha Learning Days Festival recently, WISE CEO Stavros N Yiannouka, noted that plans are afoot with partners for the 11th edition of the event.
“The theme will be finalised very soon and the activities leading up to the summit will be announced in due course of time. “We want to continue working with our partners across Qatar and the globe and engage with the youth and help amplify their voices. We have our ongoing programmes to complement the summit,” he said.
Yiannouka also revealed that the WISE Awards 2023 finalists will be announced soon. “We celebrated the WISE Awards 2022 winners along with the Doha Learning Days Festival. We had to postpone the celebration due to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. Nominations for the WISE Prize is also happening soon. The WISE Edtech Accelerator programme as well as the Learners Voices programme are well on course and all these will culminate with the 2023 WISE Summit,” he said.
WISE is an international, multi-sectoral platform for creative thinking, debate and purposeful action. WISE has established itself as a global reference in new approaches to education. Through both the biennial summit and a range of ongoing programmes WISE is promoting innovation and building the future of education through collaboration.
Since its inception in 2009, WISE has evolved into a thriving global, multi-sectoral community, which continues to generate fruitful dialogue and productive partnerships. The WISE community is a network of education stakeholders - from students to decision-makers - from about 200 countries who share ideas and collaborate to seek creative solutions to solve challenges facing education.
