Going Global Edinburgh: Towards sustainable, scalable and equitable partnerships in tertiary education.

The Going Global Edinburgh conference aims to address the challenges and opportunities in tertiary education to foster sustainable, scalable, and equitable partnerships. It acknowledges the potential of tertiary education in helping individuals achieve their goals, promoting national prosperity, and addressing global issues like the Sustainable Development Goals. However, many countries struggle to optimize their higher and further education systems to fulfill these objectives. Access to education remains unequal, with disadvantaged groups such as lower socio-economic classes, women, disabled learners, and certain ethnic or community groups facing barriers. Additionally, there are concerns about the relevance of skills provided by tertiary education and the need for flexible and suitable delivery methods. The conference seeks to explore these issues and find innovative solutions to create a more inclusive and effective tertiary education system.
