Korea National Open University (KNOU) will host ICDE Leadership Summit 2022.

The Leadership Summit is an annual forum of policy level decision makers from ICDE member institutions, invited institutions and co-operating organizations. 

The meeting has provided a unique opportunity for Rectors, Presidents, and Chief Executive Officers from around the world to meet to exchange information, share expertise and knowledge, establish benchmarks, and determine advocacy directions.

Having signed the agreement for ICDE Leadership Summit 2022 with the ICDE secretariat on 5 April, KNOU is swinging into full gear in its preparations.
