Keynote speech abstract
Universities have been the cornerstone of education and knowledge creation for centuries, but the landscape is changing rapidly. The future of universities is now uncertain, but one thing is clear: they must adapt to meet the challenges of the future. By embracing new technologies, adopting new models of teaching and learning, expanding their international reach, and prioritizing diversity and inclusion, competencies, and sustainability, universities can remain relevant and effective in the years to come. In this speech, we will explore the possible future scenarios for universities over the next two decades and how they can best serve their communities in a rapidly changing world preparing them for the challenges ahead.
