EVENT: COVID-19 & The Impact on Higher Education: What does the future hold?
11 June 2020 — Universities are agents of change. Through research and innovation some of the world’s most disruptive technologies such as the internet, lithium batteries and medical innovations, have significantly altered the way the world operates. Universities not only fuel knowledge translation, but are active members of society. Faculty and students are highly engaged in their local regions, contributing to socio-economic change. Through workshops, seminars, volunteerism, and political engagement, universities have demonstrated that they are more than just brick and mortars.
Still, government grants per student continue to fall behind the academic costs. While, universities have found varied solutions to deal with these cuts, the impacts of COVID-19 will mean several things to higher education. The first will likely continue to be funding shortages. This is not the time for ordinary solutions, and if governments do not step in to help, entire regions may be left behind.
Join international experts, Shiri Breznitz, Heike Mayer, Donald Siegel and Elvira Uyarra, for this online event as they discuss the impact of COVID-19 on higher education.
