Universities need to be innovative in embracing and adapting to change
By Brendan O’Malley – Managing Editor. In a Special Report on the International Seminar on Innovation in Higher Education hosted by CETYS University in Mexico, Yojana Sharma reports that delegates looked at how universities could respond more innovatively to a future in which change is the one certainty. Focusing on Latin America, Yojana Sharma reports on Andrés Oppenheimer’s contention that the region’s universities could learn a lot from Asia about innovation and preparing students for jobs in a growing knowledge economy, and she spoke to Arturo Cherbowski Lask about Latin American universities’ ability to adapt to a changing world.
In a series on Transformative Leadership in which University World News is partnering with The MasterCard Foundation, Brendan O'Malley asks renowned tertiary education expert Jamil Salmi how universities can provide and promote ethical leadership that is transformative.

Bruno Morche says Brazil’s Science Without Borders fellowship programme has been an important step towards internationalisation but aspects of the programme require attention to maximise impact. And François Therin unpacks a new French government report which outlines a much-needed strategy for internationalisation of higher education institutions.
