Leadership Summit

March 1, 2023

ICDE is inviting member institutions to submit bids to host the ICDE Leadership Summit 2024. The application deadline is 1 March 2023.

The ICDE Leadership Summit brings together educational leaders, experts and organisations who work within the Open, Flexible and Distance Learning (OFDL) community for a 2-3 day collaborative summit.

This event provides unique access to transnational and global views, and to invaluable information about policy, strategic thinking and leadership developments in open, flexible, online and distance education around the world.

After a successful hybrid Leadership Summit in South Korea in 2022, we are now looking ahead to a new and exciting summit in 2024. Candidate hosts are welcome to propose the theme for the next summit, taking into account its relevance for leadership challenges in our field.

Hosting the ICDE Leadership Summit provides a unique opportunity to explore partnerships and strategic collaboration with other institutions, agencies and associations. It also offers the possibility to participate in setting the international priorities and agenda for the future of open, flexible and distance education, in line with the ICDE Strategic Plan.

  • 2-3 days leadership-focused event
  • Target groups: high level leaders from education institutions, ministries, associations and private companies engaged in the field of Open, Flexible, Online and Distance Education
