Education without Borders 2011

The Higher Colleges of Technology is hosting the 6th Biennial Education Without Borders (EWB) International Student Conference from 28-31 March 2011 in the UAE.
The objective of EWB is to create networks across cultures in order to understand, and generate solutions for some of the world’s greatest challenges. This is achieved by engaging the world’s most innovative tertiary education students with leaders in the business, technology, education, and humanitarian sectors in a collaborative forum that culminates in a commitment to action. At HCT we believe the concept that leaders meet and listen to these bright young students should be the norm rather than the reverse.
EWB began in 2001 with 210 students from 47 countries. At EWB in 2009 (website:http://ewb2009. hct.ac.ae ) over 1000 students, from 110 countries and 150 universities, participated. More than 550 student papers passed the initial screening process, from which 36 papers and 7 multimedia papers were selected for presentation at the conference. In addition, 40 students gave poster presentations during the conference.
Building on EWB’s previous successes we believe that by bringing together leaders of business, education, NGOs, government, and technology sectors from six continents, we will create networks and innovations which positively impact communities and individuals around the globe for years to come.
EWB 2011 will give students an opportunity to present their contributions to an international audience. It is also a forum for meeting students from around the globe to discuss issues relating to the future of education and technology, and an excellent opportunity for students to learn more about the fascinating culture of the Arab world.
This is one of the largest student-focused events of its kind in the world and, uniquely, is organized, developed and implemented by a EWB World Student Organizing Committee under the auspices of the Higher Colleges of Technology.
We are pleased to invite you to encourage two or more of your outstanding student leaders to submit papers on the conference themes and attend EWB 2011.
For students selected to present their papers the HCT will cover their airfares, accommodation, and all in-country meals and transport. For students selected to attend the conference but who do not present papers the HCT will pay for accommodation, all in-country meals and transport. They will only have to raise funds for their airfares.
Complete details about the conference, and an application form, can be found on the conference web site at website:www. ewb.ae
