QS-APPLE is owned and managed by QS Education Trust, the not-for-profit arm of QS Quacquarelli Symonds.
QS's permanent staff, based in Singapore and London, are responsible for the planning and implementation of the conference and exhibition. There is a stipended chair of the conference programme appointed by QS from the academic community, which plays a major role in the fulfilment of QS-APPLE's objectives.
For each annual QS-APPLE, a university in the host country is appointed to be our local supporting partner. The partner carries out operational and promotional functions, and contributes to the speaking programme in return for the considerable global promotion and prestige that the role brings with it.
There is much interest to host QS-APPLE and we are booked right up to 2014. Negotiations are ongoing with institutions keen in bidding for the event from 2015. Please contact Mandy Mok (mm@qs.com) if your institution would like to be considered. |
