Dear College of Education

Following the spectacular success of the 3rd QS-MAPLE held in Johannesburg, we are pleased to announce that the 4th QS-MAPLE (Middle East and Africa Professional Leaders in Education) conference and exhibition will convene from May 6–7, 2014 in Abu Dhabi, UAE. This prestigious conference attracts senior higher education academics and administrators from across the Middle East, Africa and the world. 

The mission of QS-MAPLE is “to provide a forum that promotes the development of higher education in the Middle East and Africa in the global context that stimulates international partnership and to support the processes of institutional evaluation and upgrading that will lead to greater worldwide recognition of Middle Eastern and African universities.” This annual conference offers delegates the opportunity to network, exchange best practice and explore the rapidly changing shape of higher education in the region.

As a benefit to QS-MAPLE speakers, they pay only US$600 to attend the conference, compared with the original fee of US$750. This is a not-for-profit conference with all the profits going to QS Scholarships (QS Education Trust) to help students from the region through scholarships and other assistance.

The 4th QS-MAPLE conference and exhibition will be co-hosted by the Abu Dhabi Education Council and Khalifa University, UAE.

Date: Tuesday—Wednesday, May 6–7, 2014
Venue: Abu Dhabi, UAE
Theme: Enhancing Higher Education in Middle East and Africa

QS-MAPLE offers the ideal platform for actively engaging university leaders, academics and senior administrators to contribute to the conference program by sharing their experiences, providing case studies of internationalization and taking part in constructive debate about the internationalization of students, faculty and the curriculum.

As chair of the QS-MAPLE International Academic Conference Committee, I would like to invite you to submit your proposal for a session at the 2014 conference. The proposal should take the form of an abstract not exceeding 150 words and should be submitted with a 150-word personal profile online through the conference website (www.qsmaple.org) by September 1, 2013.
