The next WUN Conference & AGM will be held in Perth, Australia from 20 to 25 May 2018.
Attendees can expect an exciting program accompanied by a warm Aussie welcome in the vibrant city of Perth, a nexus between Africa, Asia and Oceania that boasts sunny weather, beaches, native flora and fauna, and of course our excellent WUN member, The University of Western Australia, to whom we extend our thanks for their cooperation and support.
As usual, the event will be a multi-purpose gathering that incorporates the yearly face-to-face meetings of our Global Challenge and Governance Groups, plenary discussion sessions on strategic issues, the annual Presidents Forum as well as a range of academic workshops and forums organised by WUN’s global challenge collaborations and project teams.
Please note that the following is a draft outline that is subject to change.
We encourage you to check back regularly for updates as the specific programs within this framework are added.
