| By invitation only, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings convened the Higher Education Summit for Global Development in Washington, DC on April 29-30, 2008. Extending the vision of the 2006 University Presidents Higher Education Summit, the 2008 Summit sought to expand the role and impact of U.S. and foreign higher education institutions in worldwide social and economic development.
The Summit served to broaden partnerships and networks between higher education institutions worldwide, the private sector and foundations; it highlighted and expanded emerging and innovative approaches to teaching, research, technology transfer and business development; and inspired the development of strategies to establish new and enduring higher education relationships for international development, particularly in science, technology and engineering in support of innovation and economic growth.
