The last two years have been challenging for society and families generally, but also more specifically for universities and those striving to increase collaboration. The ability to exchange ideas and be truly inspired by the actions of others, and to join in a broader movement of change in higher education has been really limited in a virtual world.

The 2022 UIIN Conference offers you an opportunity to be more connected with others who share your ambition and to fully engage in creating the future with your peers. This year’s edition will welcome 400 leaders and professionals from university and industry. Make sure you’re one of them and gain access to over 100 presentations and hands-on workshops.
