Going Global2 - the UK's international education conference

Going Global2 attracted over 700 delegates from 60 countries, building on its foundation as one of the largest international education conferences held in the UK.

The conference addressed the issues facing education providers worldwide and how, in turn, we are responding to the challenges of internationalisation.

As Bill Rammell MP – Minister of State for Lifelong Learning, Further and Higher Education, DfES – said in his conference address:

At the heart of education is the power to overcome fear, poverty and ignorance. The need to move forward on our agenda is urgent and it is for today.
