The International Association of Universities (IAU) and Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) are delighted to announce the launch of a new joint series – the Innovative Education for Unshaped Futures (IE4UF)!
The series is divided into six 1-hour chapters exploring different topics and bringing together experts to discuss current practices and solutions as well as the challenges ahead, these sessions are open to the public at large. Each of the chapters will be followed by a policy dialogue session the following day where participants can come together to exchange on the topic in question, express ideas, seek advice from peers or provide recommendations. The policy dialogues are limited to 20 participants per session to ensure maximum interaction and exchange. The outcomes of the policy dialogues will be submitted in the form of a report to the UNESCO World Higher Education Conference scheduled for 2022.
