Harvard University Conferences: A Gateway to Intellectual Growth and Innovation
This space is the editable portion of this website, dedicated to public discussion, evaluation and feedback by reviewers and users of the course materials.


Harvard University, a beacon of academic excellence, hosts an array of conferences that stand as a testament to its commitment to fostering learning, innovation, and leadership. These events are meticulously designed to inspire, challenge, and equip attendees with tools to navigate and shape the rapidly evolving world. Harvard’s conferences, particularly those spearheaded by the Harvard Initiative for Learning and Teaching (HILT) and the Office of the Vice Provost for Advances in Learning (VPAL), are more than academic gatherings; they are hubs of intellectual exploration and community building.
We hope that the space will be used for two purposes.  First, it should function as a forum for comments concerning how the course materials could be improved or enhanced. We are especially interested in hearing from librarians or others in developing and transitional countries concerning how the issues discussed in the materials are handled in those countries, but we welcome reactions to all other dimensions of the materials as well.  The Berkman Center team will rely upon submitted comments when updating and revising the materials.


The Essence of Harvard’s Conferences
Second, we hope that instructors and students will use the page as a forum in which they can discuss how they put the materials to use -- what worked well, and what didn't.  Those discussions will be of obvious benefit to instructors and students in future courses.


At their core, Harvard’s conferences seek to bridge the gap between theory and practice, offering platforms for open dialogue, collaborative learning, and the exchange of innovative ideas. Each event features a theme that resonates with contemporary issues, ensuring relevance and practical value for attendees.
Anonymous comments are permitted, but we would find it most helpful if commenters provided their names, countries of residence, and email addresses.


For example, the upcoming 2024 HILT Conference, themed “Open Minds in Dialogue,” underscores the importance of fostering free inquiry and constructive discussions in academic settings. The emphasis on “rigorous conversations” addresses challenges in navigating polarizing topics, making the event highly relevant in today’s divided social and political landscape.
