It’s no secret - the UK’s education system is the envy of the world. Our higher education institutions are some of the most prestigious in the world.

Our experts are supporting systemic change in education systems across the globe, enabling countries to deliver high impact, inclusive skills and education programmes that are tailored for their economies, and which enable social mobility and engage the hard to reach.

With a focus on the sharing of best practices across a wide range of education and research initiatives, our events will foster mutually beneficial opportunities for collaboration and partnership with the UK.
1. Professional and Future Facing Global Skills Opportunities
Demand for highly professional and future proof skills is greater now than ever before.
Work-based training, continuous professional development, accreditation and professional regulation support the development of employable students and lifelong sustainable careers. Learn how the UK can help current and future professionals in countries throughout the world to maintain and develop transferable skills.
2. EdTech
In a post-COVID and post-COP26 world, education technology has suddenly gained a great deal of prominence. Its roles in home schooling, providing diverse content, capturing hard to reach students and targeting learning for special needs have suddenly led to huge numbers of case studies, but what does all this mean for the education sector as a whole?
The UK is a hub for Education Technology, so come and learn from industry leads and individual companies about how to deploy education technology effectively and what they think the next 5 years will hold.
3. The Association of Commonwealth Universities
International collaboration for global challenges - translating university expertise into action.
The climate crisis requires urgent and collaborative action to mitigate the drastic decline of our land, oceans and environment. Universities, through their research and expertise, play a vital role in addressing global challenges and can support governments and the industry to deliver climate action and resilience, and help manage sustainable use of scarce resources. University-led partnerships are key to translating research and expertise into action on the pressing global challenge of food security.
Join us to meet Commonwealth leaders, policy-makers and scholars and explore how their work supports the implementation of international frameworks such as the new Commonwealth Living Lands Charter.
4. International Education Strategy and Science, Business and Policy for Environmental Action hosted by the University of Birmingham
Universities are important convenors and collaborators in the drive towards environmental protection and climate action. As a sector our research shapes regional, national and international policies, and our teaching upskills the next generation to tackle the climate crisis. However, action is not instigated in silos. The transfer of knowledge between researchers, policy makers, industry and education is essential to make progress on environmental protection.
Meet the global, national and regional stakeholders that are working together to make important things happen, hear the latest environmental research, innovations and collaborations, and join an important conversation about turning knowledge into action.

If the COVID-19 pandemic taught us anything, it is that the world is bound together by shared challenges—and at the center of those challenges often stands China. After decades of breakneck growth and development, Chinese officials, businesses, and institutions now play a critical role in every major global issue, from climate change to biotechnology.
We invite you to join in a virtual chat (over tea!) with Dr. Scott Moore, Director of China Programs and Strategic Initiatives at University of Pennsylvania, about his soon-to-be released book China’s Next Act that re-envisions China’s role in the world in terms of sustainability and technology. Together with CEF director Jennifer Turner, he will discuss how these issues are reshaping China’s economy and its foreign policy with major implications for the world.

Dear CBI Members,
Kindly find an insightful briefing into the likely options available to manufacturers, particularly in East Asia, regarding online and offline trading under regional trade agreements.
Author: Pindar Wong, VeriFi Ltd
Manufacturers in East Asia now have the option to settle trade under three major trade frameworks: the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework. Will they continue to use the US dollar as the de facto unit of account for financial settlements, or will they choose cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, or Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) such as China’s e-CNY?
