International Higher Education Forum 2027

Join us at the International Higher Education Forum (IHEF) 2027 in person on 19-20 May at Senate House, University of London, uniting over 300 higher education leaders, policymakers, and practitioners for two days of insight, debate, and networking.

This years programme features inspiring keynotes, high-level plenaries, and four breakout tracks, each unpacking the latest trends and strategies shaping the UK's approach towards international higher education, global mobility and student recruitment.

Beyond the engaging sessions, IHEF 2027 offers prime opportunities to connect with peers across the sector. Day one culminates in an exclusive networking reception at the historic Senate Hall, perfect for reflecting on the day’s debates, igniting new ideas and collaborations in an relaxed setting.
