Antonine University (UA) participated in the QS EduData Summit 2026 at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, held under the theme “Build Your Playbook for Data-Driven Success.” UA was represented by Prof. Roger Achkar, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET), and Ms. Viviane Tohme, QS Ranking Coordinator.

The summit brought together higher education leaders, academic institutions, industry partners, and delegates from around the world to explore the growing role of data, artificial intelligence, analytics, and digital transformation in shaping the future of universities. Through keynote sessions, panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities, participants examined how institutions can strengthen strategic planning, enhance student success, improve performance indicators, and support evidence-based decision-making.

During the exhibition, UA representatives engaged with delegates from several universities and organizations. They also welcomed visitors to Antonine University’s booth, where they presented the University’s strategic directions and shared videos and materials highlighting UA’s academic vision, institutional development, and international outlook.

These exchanges opened promising opportunities for future collaboration, particularly in academic partnerships, student and staff mobility, exchange programs, joint research initiatives, and institutional cooperation. The summit also provided a platform to reinforce UA’s visibility within the global higher education community and to explore new avenues of collaboration with institutions from different regions.

Beyond networking, the summit offered valuable perspectives on current and emerging trends in higher education, particularly the use of data-driven tools to support institutional planning, quality assurance, student engagement, and competitiveness. Discussions highlighted the importance of aligning academic strategies with measurable outcomes while maintaining a strong focus on innovation, adaptability, and long-term institutional impact.

UA’s participation in the QS EduData Summit 2026 reflects its ongoing efforts to expand international engagement, advance academic innovation, and contribute actively to global conversations on the future of higher education. By engaging with data-informed approaches and international perspectives, UA continues to strengthen an educational and research ecosystem that prepares its community to respond responsibly and creatively to a rapidly evolving world.
