UnILiON Annual Event 2020: “Future-proofing the universities of the future: learning from the Covid-19 pandemic and looking ahead”
17/11/2020
With university closures, the Covid-19 pandemic has introduced abrupt changes in teaching and learning and interrupted the majority of research activities. This health crisis provides a unique opportunity to explore new approaches to deliver high-quality education, excellent science and innovations that are more than ever needed to build a different model of society.
Senior representatives of UnILiON’s member universities will review emerging education challenges and address what can be done for universities in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. The role that the UniLION universities play in the fight against the pandemic will be assessed as well. The programme also includes a panel discussion with high-level policy-makers.
For those who wish to participate physically, more information will be made available in the coming weeks. The event will also be broadcast online via livestream.
