The Future in Focus: Advancing International Education in Times of Uncertainty
The international education sector is at a pivotal moment both at home and globally, facing a period of uncertainty and transformation. The path ahead will bring challenges that need to be met with bold ideas, creative approaches, and decisive action. To navigate this shifting landscape, we must collaborate across the sector, rethinking our strategies and bringing together diverse perspectives across the full spectrum of international education. From student mobility and research collaboration to talent development and global engagement we must recalibrate our efforts to find sustainable, inclusive and impactful ways to move forward.
Taking place in Québec City, on the traditional and unceded territory of the Huron-Wendat People, CBIE2025 – The Future in Focus will provide space for sector leaders, practitioners, and collaborators to share knowledge, forge meaningful partnerships, and explore new ideas to bring the future of international education into focus.
