Workshop Futuring the University?
This workshop explores the present and future of higher education. The sector faces a crisis of purpose amidst multiple challenges, leading to questions about its role and mandate going forward. The workshop aims to transcend disciplinary boundaries, fostering dialogue among diverse stakeholders to address these issues. By embracing a multidisciplinary approach and promoting collaboration, we seek to ignite discussions that may lead to institutional and individual engagement and innovation, countering crisis fatigue and fostering collective reflection.
