Plenary 9: What future should our university strategies be pushing us towards? The world is changing and new forces are coming into play. This session will explore how universities can take an active role in shaping the future, taking into account demographic, technological and socio economic trends, along with ethical and political considerations. With old and new powers at odds, and a reimagining of the purpose and practice of higher education providers, can institutional strategies ensure that universities are leading hands in the transformation, rather than recipients of an ever-changing world, tasked with preparing future thinkers, researchers and workers to fit into it? Debbie McVitty will explore these themes and ask panel members: Professor Jonathan Grant, Professor Ross Renton and a student representative, what they think about this, and how they think the sector might respond. |
