As digital transformation, AI, and Quantum play greater roles ahead, how will universities adapt to these new environments? How will knowledge work evolve and change with these new parameters? How will teaching and learning be affected in the years ahead? What new positions will emerge at universities, such as the newly announced Dean of AI at Corvinus? The presentation will address these provocative issues and suggest strategies for better preparing to be the university of the future.
The presentation will be around 40 minutes followed by a 20 minutes Q&A session.
