Abstract:
Over the past few decades, universities have continuously reevaluated their roles in an increasingly complex and dynamic world. As the demands of society, industry, and research evolve, so must the institutional purpose of universities.
This presentation explores the shift from traditional academic models towards a new paradigm that emphasizes adaptability, innovation, and societal impact.
By examining the changing landscape of higher education, this discussion highlights how universities can redefine their missions to remain relevant and effective in preparing future generations to navigate uncertainty and drive meaningful progress.
