The Times Higher Education (THE) Africa Universities Summit for 2025 will take place in Kigali, Rwanda, from 18–20 March 2025.
The prestigious summit will bring together cross-continental partners from higher education, industry, policy, and civil society to discuss the greatest challenges and opportunities facing African higher education and broader society.
The discussions will center around the topic of “United leadership: Harnessing African education for sustainable growth” and will bring together a diverse selection of experts from Africa and beyond.
The three-day event will be attended by over 350 delegates, including more than 100 leaders, experts, and change-makers, who will explore the importance of equitable partnerships for Africa, promoting sustainability in higher education, harnessing digital transformation for good, and improving the quality of research and employability.
The agenda will also feature two data masterclasses run by one of THE’s expert data scientists to delve into the methodology and results of the THE Interdisciplinary Science Rankings 2025 and the THE Impact Rankings 2025. The THE Interdisciplinary Science Rankings recognize, incentivize, and celebrate interdisciplinary science in higher education, while the THE Impact Rankings assess universities against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals to benchmark higher education institutions’ academic and scientific performance.
