What can universities do to increase their adaptive capacities in times of rapid changes and how can they transform while being responsible and contributing to more democratic and just societies?<\/em><\/p>\n

The presentations and group discussions will be organised around three main topics: 1) Teaching and learning about the future<\/em>, 2) Digitalisation & the future of Higher Education<\/em>, 3) Policy issues & the future of Higher Education<\/em>.<\/p>\n
