WISE is an international platform for creative thinking, debate, and purposeful action. Through both the biennial summit and a range of ongoing programs WISE is promoting innovation and building the future of education through collaboration.
The WISE Prize for Education is the first distinction of its kind to recognise an individual or a team for an outstanding, world-class contribution to education.
The WISE Prize for Education Laureate announced at the global biennial summit’s Opening Plenary Session, receives the WISE Prize medal and $500,000.
