SANORD at the 26th Annual IEASA Conference: Strengthening Internationalisation in Challenging Times
The 26th Annual IEASA Conference, held at the Radisson Hotel & Convention Centre in Johannesburg, proved to be an invaluable platform for SANORD to engage with leading voices in higher education internationalisation. With this year’s theme, "Navigating Internationalisation in Challenging Times," the conference offered crucial insights and fresh perspectives that will enhance our mission of fostering collaboration between Southern Africa and the Nordic countries.
As exhibitors, SANORD had the privilege of showcasing our initiatives, connecting with key institutions and organizations involved in internationalisation, and discussing strategies for advancing global partnerships in higher education. The engaging panel discussions, keynote addresses, and networking sessions deepened our understanding of the current challenges while inspiring innovative approaches aligned with SANORD’s goals.
A highlight of the conference was the session led by Minister Naledi Pandor, whose experience and leadership in global diplomacy and education provided relevant and inspiring guidance. Her insights on advancing internationalisation amidst today’s complex global landscape were particularly impactful, offering us strategies to continue fostering international collaboration in these challenging times.
Throughout the conference, we participated in vital discussions on sustaining and advancing internationalisation efforts in the face of economic, political, and environmental pressures. This unique opportunity to share insights, learn from one another, and explore innovative solutions will undoubtedly shape the future of global education.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to IEASA for facilitating this important dialogue and to all our partners within SANORD for your unwavering dedication and support. Together, we are navigating these challenging times with resilience and a shared vision for a more inclusive and sustainable future in higher education.
