The British Council and University College London will host the First National Conference ‘Leading Higher Education Transformation in Myanmar’. Delegates from over 100 Myanmar universities will take part in the conference, which brings together over 200 leaders in higher education in Myanmar.

The conference will cover higher education reform from the national and international perspectives, and the leadership and management skills needed for higher education reform.

EIFL Open Access Programme Manager Iryna Kuchma will speak about the EIFL eLibrary Myanmar project, which increases access to e-resources and integrates them into teaching, learning and research, and about the role of open access repositories in maximizing the impact of research from Myanmar universities.
