According to a report by the Institute for the Future (IFTF) and a panel of 20 tech, business and academic experts from around the world, 85 percent of the jobs that will exist in 2030 haven't even been invented yet. The primary aim of the 21st Century Education Forum @ Harvard is to assemble a diverse group of stakeholders to discuss how to prepare students for an uncertain world of work and society. Participants are encouraged to present his/her research or just attend to learn from global researchers and experts assembled at one of the top higher education institutions in the world.

Based on the 21CEF@HARVARD conference theme, we are calling for chapters for an edited book entitled "Education 2030: Preparing students for an uncertain future" that will be edited and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. The 21st Century Academic Forum’s publishing team will coordinate with authors in producing in producing a volume that is both coherent and self-sufficient and presentable as a book rather than a mere collection (such as conference proceedings with no introduction or sections).

All papers that meet the 21st Century Academic Forum’s Conference Proceedings guidelines will be published in our online Conference Proceedings (ISSN: 2330-1236). The Conference Proceedings will be published on MAY 16, 2019 The editors of our peer-reviewed Journal of 21st Century Education (ISSN: 2330-1244) select the best papers from the Conference Proceedings to appear in special thematic issues of the journal.

Conference participants will have the option of joining an educational excursion to the historical town of Plymouth, Massachusetts to take part in America's Hometown Thanksgiving Festival. The celebration of Thanksgiving becomes history-brought-to-life as Pilgrims, Native Americans, Soldiers, Patriots, and Pioneers proudly climb out of the history books and onto the streets of Plymouth.
