About the Speaker:

Education is not, nor should it wish to be, immune to globalization. Instead, education should show positive, life-changing, even world-changing, leadership.

Maurits van Rooijen FRSA (born 1956) is a Dutch socio-economic historian and geographer. His research has concentrated on green urbanization and re-interpreting garden city principles. In recent publications, he has promoted the concept of the “Global Knowledge City,” arguing that in “the 21st century, besides the need to blend urbanization with agriculture and manufacturing (the original garden city mission), global knowledge innovation should be at the core of sustainable urbanization.

In 2013 he was awarded the prize for EAIE Constance Meldrum Award for Vision & Leadership. Since 2012, he has been the CEO & Rector of the London School of Business and Finance (LSBF).
