Since 2004, the British Council’s Going Global conference has provided a strategic forum for leaders in international education to connect, share knowledge and build a global network of senior leaders and policy influencers, shaping the future of further and higher education. This year, the conference was held in Edinburgh, UK, from 20 - 23 November 2023.
