Thank you to everyone who joined us online for the THE Innovation & Impact Summit 2021, hosted in partnership with The University of Auckland and The Pennsylvania State University.

The global outbreak of Covid-19 has disrupted life as we know it. Now, more than ever, society is looking to the global research community to respond to the emerging existential challenges to global development, and our survival. Over this four-day summit we examined the critical factors for supporting research impact based around these agenda themes:

• What are the key drivers of global innovation?
• Do we have the right vision of impact?
• Does impact create resilience?
• Do we know what we need?

The summit also featured the exclusive live reveal of the THE Impact Rankings 2021, a global performance table that assesses universities against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We are delighted to be partnering with the prestigious Swedish university KTH Royal Institute of Technology for the THE Innovation & Impact Summit 2022, featuring the reveal of the THE Impact Rankings 2022.

The summit covers three days of interviews, debates and discussions, and networking events including a gala dinner, drinks receptions, lunches and social events.

Agenda themes:

• How universities can create a national innovation culture
• Regulating responsibly – is there a role for universities?
• Assessing impact – where can universities make the greatest intervention?
• Lean innovation – the value of diversity
