Public event at the University of Turku on Wednesday, 23 October explored the future of universities from the perspective of strategic foresight. Organised both onsite and online, the event brought together a range of experts and audiences interested in the topic.
The newly published Future Directions and Possibilities for the University report from the University of Turku provides a rare and comprehensive overview of the factors affecting the future of universities and possible development paths. The report is part of the University's ongoing strategic foresight initiative launched in 2022 by the Strategic Planning Unit, in collaboration with the Finland Futures Research Centre.
The University of Turku plays a vital role in the development and progress of society in Finland and beyond. As an internationally recognised, research-led, multidisciplinary university, our goal is to create new knowledge and innovations that benefit individuals, communities and society globally.
How should we rethink higher education to make it more responsive to the challenges of a changing world? This question will be answered in a panel discussion in Educarium on Thursday 9 February from 12.30 pm.
