QS Reimagine Education Award winners 2023

In its 10^th year, the QS Reimagine Education continues to be the ultimate gathering for the innovators pioneering the transformation of education. In 2023, we hosted the event in Abu Dhabi, supported by Khalifa University, and welcomed delegates in person and virtually.  

Alongside an exciting conference agenda which saw Directors, Vice-Presidents, Chief Learning Officers, CEOs and Deans share their insights, we also celebrated educational achievement. The QS Reimagine Education Awards recognise the exceptional efforts of educators, institutions, and Edtech start-ups in preparing learners for the challenges of the future. 

We are delighted to detail the full winners of the QS Reimagine Education Awards.

Reflecting on the decade-long journey, QS President Nunzio Quacquarelli said, “The community of #Reimaginers we have fostered for the past ten years is a testament to the enduring spirit of educational innovation. This initiative, co-founded with my colleague and mentor, Jerry Wind of The Wharton School, has evolved into a formidable global movement. Our awards have cast a spotlight on projects that, with recognition, have secured funding and achieved growth. Each year, the conference sparks new collaborations and uncovers new partnership opportunities.”
