Annual Presidents' Meeting 2023

The APRU Annual Presidents’ Meeting 2023 will be hosted by The University of Hong Kong from June 25-27, 2023.

 

In a globally connected world, we are facing enormous challenges such as poverty, inequalities, armed conflicts, climate emergencies and the long-lasting consequences of pandemic together. A sustainable future requires innovative solutions that reduce our impact on the environment while meeting our needs, which cannot be achieved by any nation alone.

 

Under the theme “From Invention to Implementation: Solutions for a Sustainable Future”, presidents and senior university administrators will explore the state of the planet, from threats to opportunities, from carbon neutrality and green technologies; share thoughts that could help us achieve a sustainable future; and strive for a concerted effort from individuals, businesses, and governments to make the solutions a reality.

 

This meeting will provide important opportunities for presidents to re-connect as the world re-opens. Maximum opportunities will also be provided to address the theme and to have formal and informal discussions.
