SUNY Global Center, New York, NY|

"Building World-Class Systems of Higher Education" will explore the recent dynamics of higher education systems (formal or informal), focusing particularly on how systems are now working to improve their effectiveness in educating students and improving our communities; how they benefit local populations by using the unique internationalized nature of the higher education endeavor to support the engagement of their respective communities with communities around the world, while also identifying new means for operating more efficiently.

This two-day, agenda-setting conference for senior academic leaders, senior international officers, and scholars of higher education, will result in an edited volume, anticipated to be published by SUNY Press. 

Focus will be on the following themes:

• Higher Education Systems in Global Perspective
• System-to-System Partnerships 
• System Research Collaboration
