The Buenos Aires Blueprint: Building Resilience for a Shared Future
Co-hosted by NAFSA: Association of International Educators and Universidad de San Andrés, the Buenos Aires Blueprint convenes leaders from higher education, government, industry, philanthropy, and civil society to confront modern disruptions and design bold solutions for the future. Together, participants will explore how education, innovation, and global cooperation can serve as catalysts for more resilient institutions, more inclusive societies, and a more interconnected world.
This summit is not simply about responding to change. It is about shaping it.
The summit is grounded in a simple but powerful believe: that education remains one of humanity’s most powerful tools for advancing opportunity and understanding. The summit will challenge participants to move beyond traditional models and imagine new approaches to learning, mobility, talent development, partnership, and leadership.
What is the format for the 2027 Global Summit?
This summit is designed as a working laboratory for ideas, relationships, and solutions.
We’ll examine how education can:
- Advance opportunity
- Strengthen communities
- Develop global talent
- Contribute to a more sustainable and prosperous world
Join us to explore how institutions can respond to disruption not with retreat, but with creativity, courage, and collaboration.
Why Buenos Aires?
A city shaped by migration, culture, intellectual curiosity, entrepreneurship, and global exchange, Buenos Aires does more than host visitors, it invites them in. It encourages dialogue. It sparks imagination. It reminds us that learning happens not only in classrooms and conference halls, but also in communities, neighborhoods, cultural spaces, and the encounters that challenge our assumptions and expand our understanding.
The spirit of Buenos Aires reflects the spirit of international education itself: openness to new perspectives, a willingness to engage across differences, and the belief that our futures are interconnected. Participants will come to Buenos Aires to listen, learn, contribute and build. And together they will help shape a blueprint for a future defined not by disruption alone, but by possibility, shared purpose, and human flourishing.
Why NAFSA and UdeSA?
NAFSA and Universidad de San Andrés are proud to convene a global community of leaders committed to transforming uncertainty into opportunity and building pathways toward a more connected and prosperous future.
The Buenos Aires Blueprint is an invitation to think boldly, learn deeply, and create collectively.
Together, we will ask:
What must we build now to ensure that future generations inherit a world defined not by division and scarcity, but by possibility and shared purpose?
