Founded in 1968, the International Baccalaureate (IB) pioneered a movement of international education, and now offers four high quality, challenging educational programmes to students aged 3-19. The IB gives students distinct advantages by providing strong foundations, critical thinking skills, and a proficiency for solving complex problems, while encouraging diversity, curiosity, and a healthy appetite for learning and excellence. In a world where asking the right questions is as important as discovering answers, the IB champions critical thinking and flexibility in study by crossing disciplinary, cultural and national boundaries. Supported by world class educators and coordinators, the IB currently engages with more than 1.95 million students in over 5,300 schools across 158 countries.

AMITY UNIVERSITY &ndash; RANKED AMONG THE TOP 3% UNIVERSITIES GLOBALLY
Amity University has been ranked among the top 3% universities globally by QS and THE (the world&rsquo;s leading university ranking organisations).
It has also set a new standard of academic excellence in India by becoming Asia&rsquo;s only not-for-profit university to be awarded accreditation by WASC, USA and UK&rsquo;s Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA).
Times Higher Education (UK) has ranked Amity among the top universities globally for producing the most employable graduates, in a survey conducted among 9,000 employers worldwide.
Amity has also been ranked India&rsquo;s no. 1 not-for profit pvt. University for 9 years in the prestigious India Today University Rankings

Amity Group&rsquo;s vision of establishing a global knowledge network has led to establishing 16 international campuses in London, Singapore, Dubai, New York, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Tashkent, Mauritius, Nairobi and South Africa.
Right from its inception, Amity has been focused on raising overall standards by benchmarking with the best in the world and by putting greater emphasis on research, innovation and employability.
Amity&rsquo;s strong focus on research and innovation has led to the filing of more than 1,300 patents.Amity is also engaged in conducting more than 300 high-end government-funded as well as international research projects, including those funded by the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation, United States Agency for International Development and the Leverhulme Trust, UK.

The university has also pioneered the concept of industry-led institutions where leading organisations such as the multinational conglomerate Tata, the UK&rsquo;s Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) have set up institutions in partnership with Amity on campus.
Attracting some of the most brilliant students, Amity has instituted India&rsquo;s largest private scholarship programmes, benefitting over 25,000 students. These students are blazing a trail of success, having filed over 100 patents and published 1500 Scopus Indexed Research Papers.

The award-winning Innovation Incubator on campus has nurtured more than hundred companies and attracted investments of over 40 million US dollars. The campus also has many high-end research centers, including ones set up with Nobel laureates.
However, the greatest achievement for Amity has been the role it has played in the educational revolution that brought to the fore and raised the standards of private education in India. In the early years, when the education landscape was slowly beginning to change, other universities saw what Amity was doing, and they too started to embrace the change.
As a sustainable and value-driven Group, Amity is following the path of transforming the education landscape.

Cavemen to Cappuccinos: Thriving in the Fastest Century

How important is it that schools and teachers engage with their wider communities and what are the benefits of such engagements? Schools are natural hubs for community engagements facilitating interaction between students, parents, companies, businesses and societies, at large. This has the potential to enhance both learning in the school, and community itself.&nbsp;
This session will address, for example, how schools should engage with Universities, Colleges, Industry and with Community Organisations, and how to make the most of the opportunities that such engagement provides?&nbsp;

Outward Looking Schools and their Ecosystems

Challenges are often associated more with implementation rather than ideation. A good idea needs to be nurtured and supported not only in its early stages but as it grows through prototyping to implementation.&nbsp;
How can we ensure that ideas initiated schools are developed, strengthened and successfully implemented? How can and should the experience of designing and implementing new ideas aid future workforce preparation?
