Can the virtual conference level the playing field?

Unleashing the new global university is a series of virtual events in which we invite innovative, international and local speakers to have challenging conversations that help us rethink global collaborations for a sustainable and equitable planet.

The first part of the conversation on the topic "How virtual can we go?" was hosted and introduced by UCT Vice-Chancellor, Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng, on 29 June 2020 and moderated by Professor Kelly Chibale.
