Dear Reimaginers,
Hello, and welcome to this edition of the Reimagine Education Newsletter, where you’ll discover all that’s been happening in the first third of 2019. Your Reimagine Education Steering Committee has again been striving to reimagine Reimagine, taking into account all of your feedback from last year’s event – and are now able to offer some updates on a 2019 initiative that is speedily taking shape.
- The 2019 Reimagine Education Awards are well underway, and we are pleased to see that interest in the competition continues to rise. We have received approximately six times as many applications as we had at the same point in 2018, and we anticipate this being the most competitive edition yet – again! However, we are keen to continue surfacing outstanding approaches to teaching and learning – so don’t hesitate to apply today!
- We’re still seeking experts on edtech, teaching, learning, and employability to join our judging panel. If you’re keen to join the group of specialist educators helping to identify those projects that deserve to be recognised for their impact, uniqueness, and efficacy, submit your candidacy today!
- After positive feedback from last year’s participants, we can confirm that the Reimagine Connect 1-2-1 sessions will be recurring this year. These sessions will take two forms: carefully-tailored meetings between university CIOs and edtech companies; and similarly-tailored meetings between edtech investors and edtech startups. If you are an edtech startup representative, university CIO, or edtech investor, and you’d like to arrange a series of mutually-beneficial one-to-one meetings with leading Reimaginers, please email serena@qs.com for more information;
- We – also in response to positive feedback – will be offering a series of interactive workshops and professional development sessions at Reimagine 2019. If you’d like to run a workshop, or propose that we construct one on a specific topic ourselves, reach out to us at reimagine@qs.com and we will gladly collaborate with you accordingly;
- Don’t forget – for the first time, Reimagine is moving to London! We will be able to release further information about the event very soon, so stay tuned for more details. The event will be at the start of December, and we are already anticipating another vibrant, change-making meeting of education’s best minds. If you’d like to speak at Reimagine 2019, we are still accepting abstracts and speaker proposals: submit yours here
