#25Nov Webinar | Pathways to 2050 and beyond: Findings from a public consultation on the futures of higher education
Join UNESCO IESALC for the online launch of the second report on the futures of higher education, Pathways to 2050 and beyond: Findings from a public consultation on the futures of higher education. A global public consultation took place between May and August 2021, collecting the hopes, concerns, ideas and suggestions in relation to higher education from 1,200 participants in almost 100 countries. This new UNESCO IESALC report identifies four pathways to 2050 and beyond that form the roots from which higher education in the futures will grow. At the launch event, hear from the team behind the report as well as guest speakers who will provide global perspectives on what might lie ahead for higher education as we look to the next thirty years and beyond. Participants will also have the opportunity to put forward their own questions about the futures of higher education during a Q&A session. Following the webinar, the report will be available to download and the content will also be shared through an interactive website.
Date and time: Thursday 25 November 2021, 08:00 – 09:30 (UTC -4, Caracas); please check your local time zone
