About this Event
Universities were built for a different age. As artificial intelligence, demographic change, geopolitical uncertainty, and economic pressures reshape society, long-established assumptions about how universities are governed, funded, organised, and valued are coming under increasing strain. What kinds of institutions will be needed in 2050? Which traditions should be preserved, and which structures may need to be reinvented? Bringing together perspectives from higher education leadership and technological change, this session will ask whether the university as we know it is fit for the decades ahead – and what new models of knowledge, learning, and institutional life might emerge by 2050.
