The inaugural Times Higher Education BRICS & Emerging Economies Universities Summit was held in Moscow on 3 and 4 December 2014. This prestigious event was hosted in partnership with the Russian government’s Project 5-100, an ambitious development programme that aims to catapult five of the nation's universities into the world top 100 by 2020.
Global leaders gathered to discuss emerging economies' plans to develop world-class universities as catalysts for economic growth: issues under the spotlight include government support for leading national institutions and how to ensure and measure the effectiveness of business investment in the academy.
