Hasselt University and the Copenicus Alliance invite you to join the Higher Education Summit 2021!
During this international mini-conference, we bring together the changemakers who, each from their discipline, want to rethink our economy into a safe and fair space for humanity through higher education.

Join us and let’s hear from you!
You will have the opportunity to engage with these inspirational keynote speakers:

Kate Raworth, known for her bestseller 'Doughnut economics: seven steps to an economy for the 21st century’
Mamphela Ramphele, co-president of the Club of Rome
Garry Jacobs, CEO of the World Academy of Art & Science

By the way, did you know that we have found 11 ways to transform higher education and rethink our economy? They will be discussed in these inspiring workshops:

Learn with Jelleke de Nooy van Tol (Catalyst4Change) how the 4 E's can support transition processes for safe and just humanity (engage, encourage, enable, exemplify)
Write your story with Wendy Wuyts (author of 'Als Meubels Konden Spreken') to infuse the circular economy with social aspects via creative writing
Take action with Bruno Delepierre (Happonomy) to get more quality of life from less consumption, or in short, to consume more consciously
Step into the middle of society with Kathia Reynders (KU Leuven & UHasselt) in order to make the world more sustainable via Community Service Learning
Organise with Sara Gilissen (UCLL) online and offline bootcamps with students and entrepreneurs about the circular economy using design thinking

Explore with Gerben Nap (Social Trade Organisation) what higher education institutions can do locally to show the way to a more sustainable economy
Create with Maha Ech-Chefaa (Enactus Morocco) social innovations to change the world locally and globally
Discover your own misconceptions about other cultures and decolonise the curriculum in higher education with Latifah Abdou & Sebastian Van Hoeck (WeDecolonizeVUB & UCOS)
Modernise economics education with Sam de Muijnck (Our New Economy) to engage young people for a better world
Discover with Marilyn Mehlmann and Miriam Sannum (Legacy17) the role of money in society and what 'good money' for a better economic future can look like
