At the prestigious World Economic Forum in Davos, O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) rolled out the World University Leaders Forum (WULF)—a trailblazing network for the world’s academic elite.
Crafted for chancellors and educators, this WEF-exclusive initiative facilitates cross-continental exchanges to confront education’s grand challenges and societal imperatives head-on.
JGU’s brainchild underscores its dedication to equitable, enduring advancement, infused with India’s scholarly legacy and propelled by Naveen Jindal’s prescient guidance. Two decades on, global alliances define its DNA.
As a borderless, equitable forum, WULF unites North-South academia for inspired solutions. It spotlights SDG progress through pedagogy, inquiry, policy, service, and partnerships.
Spearheaded by Vice-Chancellor Professor C. Raj Kumar, the gathering draws top minds from the USA, UK, Japan, UAE, et al., to blueprint higher education’s tomorrow.
Professor Kumar reflected on JGU’s ethos: forging human service via intellectual-cultural bonds. With 600+ global links, WULF eternalizes this pursuit.
‘North and South universities can now co-lead via this purposeful arena,’ he declared. Vital for knowledge, fairness, creativity, and sustainability, WULF crafts policies amid global strife.
Debut panels probe universities’ SDG propulsion toward inclusive, robust futures, syncing with WEF’s vision of cooperative rivalry, growth avenues, human investment, ethical scaling, and planetary prosperity.
A game-changer in ed leadership, WULF advances JGU’s conference pedigree—from Asia Pacific summits to 2026’s Star Scholars event—fostering vital collaborations for education and societal leaps.
