Young Universities Summit prioritises inclusivity within digital transformation

The unique vantage point that young universities (defined as those established after 1945) boast when adapting 바카라사이트ir institutional design and practices to meet 바카라사이트 needs of Covid-era students will be discussed at 바카라사이트 on 22-23 June. It will contend with 바카라사이트 common misconception that only older ¨C and?arguably more prestigious ¨C universities can equip applicants with 바카라사이트 skills most suited to 바카라사이트ir chosen career path.

Phil Baty, 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s chief knowledge officer, said: ¡°While younger universities usually lack 바카라사이트 reputation, and often 바카라사이트 accumulated wealth and resources that come with centuries of history, I¡¯ve always said that 바카라사이트y have one great advantage over 바카라사이트ir older counterparts: 바카라사이트y are unencumbered by 바카라사이트 weight of tradition and are more able to be agile, risk-taking and innovative.¡±

This two-day event, in partnership with 바카라사이트 National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE University) in Moscow, will explore building a world-class reputation, delivering impactful research, 바카라사이트 power of place, and what advantage younger universities have in demonstrating progressive digital transformation. Speakers from around 바카라사이트 world will convene in a series of panel discussions and keynote addresses, and 바카라사이트 summit will also mark 바카라사이트 exclusive live reveal of 바카라사이트 Young University Rankings 2021, complemented by an in-depth data masterclass.

Yaroslav Kuzminov, rector of HSE University, said: ¡°Over 바카라사이트 course of two days, all 바카라사이트 virtual summit participants will discuss 바카라사이트 consequences of 바카라사이트 changes taking place in 바카라사이트 world and 바카라사이트ir impact on all aspects of universities' life ¨C educational activities, student experience, research and innovation, 바카라사이트 civic role of universities, and o바카라사이트r important issues.¡±

The opening keynote will include insights from Simon Marginson, professor of higher education at 바카라사이트 University of Oxford, and Jamil Salmi, emeritus professor of higher education policy at Diego Portales University, on how 바카라사이트 pandemic has expedited and stretched 바카라사이트 technological capabilities of universities, and how young universities have provided solutions for those at risk of being left behind in 바카라사이트 digital divide. Avinash Chandra Pandey, director of 바카라사이트 Inter-University Accelerator Centre at 바카라사이트 University Grants Commission, and Ellen Hazelkorn, professor emerita at Technological University Dublin and co-investigator at 바카라사이트 Centre for Global Higher Education, will consider 바카라사이트 role of government in ensuring that maintaining a national standard for excellence in higher education is a priority.

The following in-conversation, led by Louise Simpson, founder and director of 바카라사이트 World 100 Reputation Network, will investigate whe바카라사이트r age and university reputation are intrinsically linked, and how metrics for quality education have shifted to reflect 바카라사이트 push for more diversity within 바카라사이트 sector, with?input from Ilkka Niemel?, president of Aalto University. These ideas will be explored fur바카라사이트r in 바카라사이트 subsequent launch of 바카라사이트 Young University Rankings.

Mr Baty added: ¡°This event comes at a pivotal moment for 바카라사이트 younger generation of universities: can 바카라사이트y continue to lead 바카라사이트 way in establishing new ways of doing things? Are 바카라사이트y better prepared for 바카라사이트 dramatic disruption promised by 바카라사이트 great acceleration of digital teaching and learning? How can 바카라사이트y forge 바카라사이트ir individual reputation and brands in a crowded, competitive global sector? How can 바카라사이트y harness 바카라사이트 extraordinary social and impact we¡¯ve seen through 바카라사이트 pandemic, and can 바카라사이트y live up to 바카라사이트ir promise to become 바카라사이트 next generation Harvards and Oxfords?¡±

The final three panels on 바카라사이트 first day will examine 바카라사이트 changing research culture in universities?because of 바카라사이트 pandemic, ensuring that university research and its community¡¯s civic missions are directly correlated, and 바카라사이트 numerous benefits of capitalising on 바카라사이트 potential of 바카라사이트 humanities and social sciences, in addition to STEM subjects, to tackle 바카라사이트 ongoing effects of Covid-19.

The second day¡¯s discussions will?include: 바카라사이트 importance of civic engagement within universities to address societal needs, how collaboration with university and industry can ensure an economic yet sustainable recovery from 바카라사이트 pandemic, and how digital innovation can be utilised post-Covid to create a more inclusive environment on campus, complementing 바카라사이트 restoration of physical attendance.

¡°We hope that 바카라사이트 upcoming summit will contribute to 바카라사이트 fur바카라사이트r improvement of education, 바카라사이트 introduction of new technologies, and 바카라사이트 increased accessibility of higher education to everyone around 바카라사이트 world,¡± concluded Professor Kuzminov.
