Shape the future of education
QS Reimagine Education is the global forum for higher education and edtech innovators. The theme for our 2026 edition is “Mind the Gap – It’s getting wider”. The divide is growing. Some universities are seizing new opportunities, rewriting the rules, and future-proofing their models. Others are hesitating, weighed down by outdated structures and slow-moving policies. The choice is stark: evolve or be left behind.
In London, delegates will hear from university and business school leaders, EdTech visionaries and QS experts as we discuss strategies to drive innovation in higher education. Shape the future of learning, the future of universities and the future of work. See what to expect – view the 2024 photo gallery.
During the Conference, we will also celebrate excellence with the QS Reimagine Education Awards. As we have done for over 10 years, we will reward the most pioneering pedagogical approaches that enhance learning outcomes, improve employability, and advance sustainability education. With 18 diverse award categories, this is your opportunity to showcase your innovation on a global stage.
- Submission Deadline: August 1, 2025
- Finalist Pitches: Live at the conference in December 2025, London, UK.
