Since its establishment by Qatar Foundation in 2009, WISE has been
dedicated to enabling innovation in education around the world. The
2017 WISE theme -- "Co-Exist - Co-Create: Learning to Live and Work
Together"-reflects WISE's commitment to address important education
challenges particularly in times of disruption and economic
uncertainty stemming from conflict, mass migration, growing
inequality, and on-going, rapid technological change.

WISE 2017 will gather a wide variety of education stakeholders in
Doha, to discuss ways to respond to the world's most pressing
problems, turn challenges into opportunities for positive change, and
build the future of education. Recognized world leaders, experts and
thinkers will explore the impact of education on economies, health
and well-being, citizenship, inclusion, the science of learning, and
other key issues. More than 2,000 attended the previous WISE Summit
in Doha, with talks by global leaders including former U.S. First
Lady Michelle Obama, former Prime Minister of Australia Julia
Gillard, and Leymah Gbowee of Liberia, recipient of the 2011 Nobel
Peace Prize, among others.

Additionally, WISE has been organizing educational forums
internationally featuring expert speakers in a wide range of fields
and sectors to shed light on key regional and global trends in
education. The first of these WISE@ gatherings took place last year
in Tunis and in Beijing, co-organized with local partners. The
WISE@Madrid forum, the first initiative of the series in Europe, was
dedicated to reflecting and imagining the future of education,
notably addressing the high youth unemployment issue, among other
subjects.
