The Eastern Cape province in South Africa is the home to Nelson Mandela, one of the world’s greatest stateman to have ever lived. Situated in a game reserve, and in the backdrop of the Indian Ocean, Nelson Mandela University is the only university named after this icon.
This is the first Conference’s appearance in the African continent since its inception in 2010. Building on the successes of the previous Conferences, especially the 2023 Aberdeen Conference, the 2024 Conference explores the manifestations of the transformative role of universities in society.
