Conference Description: 

The theme of the Fourth 21st Century Academic Forum Conference at Harvard is "Impactful Research for Better Lives." The organizers encourage submissions that approach this theme from a variety of perspectives under six major topic tracks:
  • Education & Workforce Development
  • Information Technology
  • Innovation & Entrepreneurship
  • International Development
  • Energy & Environment
  • Public Health

Conference Aim:

“In a gentle way, you can shake the world.” (Mahatma Gandhi)

The aim of the Fourth 21st Century Academic Forum Conference at Harvard is to encourage and facilitate research initiatives that address the most pressing issues facing 21st century citizens. We hope that conference participants embrace Gandhi's challenge to "shake the world" by harnessing the power of research, experience, and collaboration to present evidence-based solutions to real-world problems. 


Picture

Of course, real-world problems are complex and rarely fall within the tidy boundaries of traditional academic disciplines and requires a paradigm shift. As such, 21st Century Academic Forum conferences are not structured around narrowly defined topic tracks but are organized around six issues facing 21st century citizens. You can learn more about the six issue areas on the Call for Proposals page.
