Call for Proposals: 3rd QS-MAPLE Conference 2013

Dear Educator,

Following the spectacular success of the 2nd QS-MAPLE held in Durban, we are pleased to announce that the 3rd
QS-MAPLE (Middle East and Africa Professional Leaders in Education) Conference will convene from 7 – 8 May 2013 in Johannesburg, South Africa. 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 build world-class universities for Middle East and Africa communities through global partnership and collaboration". 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 USD600 to attend the conference, compared with the usual USD700. This is a non-profit conference with all profits going to QS Education Trust to help students from the region through scholarships and other assistance.

The 3rd QS-MAPLE Conference will be co-hosted by the University of Johannesburg and Nanyang Technological University in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Dates : Tuesday - Wednesday, 7 – 8 May 2013
Venue : Hyatt Regency Hotel, Johannesburg, South Africa
Theme : Meeting the global challenges in higher education
