Education is increasing enormously in scale and new political and economic demands are being made of it. Innovation is not just about acquiring technology, but how to use it in order to fostering new skills. The panelists consider Open Educational Resources, the importance of intelligent political leadership in bringing about change, the status of research and the internationalization of education, among many other issues. Where will innovation come from and where should we look for it to emerge?

This WISE Plenary Session features education leaders Ms. Denise Aguiar Alvarez (Bradesco Foundation Brazil), Mr. Stephen Cole, Prof. Yin Cheong Cheng (WERA, Hong Kong), Mr. Steven Lawrence Geiger (Skolkovo Foundation, Russia), Mr Anthony Salcito (Worldwide Education Microsoft, USA) and José Mariano Gago (IRGC, Portugal).
