THE Asia Universities Summit - Nurturing Creativity and Innovation

The Times Higher Education Asia Universities Summit held June 19-21 at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology focused on how universities can nurture creativity and innovation. The website and the video that can be found on it does not provide much detail; what is there reflects a focus on rankings and attention to the role of research in fostering creativity. One can only hope that, considering the diversity and elite brand of many of the universities that attended, there was conversation about the need to adapt practices across borders, examination of teaching/learning pedagogy in stimulating creativity, and that students' and faculty members' holistic experience both in and out of class was addressed.
