About this Event
Universities are under growing pressure to respond to rapid technological change, social challenges, financial constraints, and shifting public expectations. Yet decisions about the future of higher education are rarely straightforward. How should universities balance competing priorities? What values should guide their choices? And who is affected when difficult decisions are made?
Organised by the Una Europa Future University Lab, this participatory event invites attendees to explore the tensions, trade-offs, and responsibilities involved in shaping the university of the future. Through a collaborative workshop, participants will examine different perspectives on the purpose of the university and consider how institutions navigate competing demands in practice.
Rather than seeking simple answers or easy consensus, the session will encourage critical reflection on the choices universities face and the consequences those choices carry. Together, participants will explore what it means not only to imagine the future university, but to make decisions that help bring it into being.
