Ingrid Mulà, IRIS PhD student, has been invited to attend the second edition of WISE, the World Innovation Summit for Education, to be held in Doha (Qatar) on December 7th, 9th and 10th, 2010. Her travel, accommodation and related costs are funded by the Qatar Foundation.
As in 2009, the Summit will bring together over 1,000 participants from many different walks of life and every corner of the world: eminent decision makers, educationalists, thought leaders, politicians and a wide range of public and private sector multistakeholders. Together they will continue fostering innovative collaborations and action-oriented initiatives, inspiring and spearheading creative change in the world of education.
Over two and a half days, the Summit programme will focus on improving existing educational structures and exploring innovative trends. Plenary sessions and breakout sessions will be organised around these subjects, with an additional Plenary specifically addressing the crucial issue of how 21st-century education should be funded.
