Experts and speakers wanted for GREAT Talks in India

We invite UK higher education institutions to propose subject experts and speakers for our 2023-24 GREAT Talks series in India. 

GREAT Talks take place in cities across India and give UK professionals from diverse areas of expertise the opportunity to engage with local experts, academics, professionals and students. 

Participating UK higher education institutions get the chance to connect with and build the UK’s brand and network among large audiences in India, and to inspire young minds in relation to the UK’s world class education, research and innovation.
