About the Organization:

WISE is an international, multi-sectoral platform for creative thinking, debate and purposeful action. WISE has established themselves as a global reference in new approaches to education. Through both the biennial Summit and a range of ongoing programs WISE is promoting innovation and building the future of education through collaboration. The thrust for constant innovation has long prevailed in sectors such as technology and healthcare, but education has generally lacked this approach in both policymaking and in the classroom.
