What is the fundamental purpose of a university in the 21st century?
This event will take place in London in March 2026 (online viewing also available)
What should a university be in the 21st century - a launchpad for careers, a hub for innovation, a guardian of truth, or a force for social change?
As the world transforms through technology, globalisation, and shifting values, universities face growing pressure to redefine their purpose. Are they here to train workers, shape citizens, solve global problems, or all the above? This debate challenges us to rethink the core mission of higher education in a world that demands both adaptability and integrity.
Registration for this event will open in semester 2.
