Join us on Wednesday 13 May, 14:00 UK time, for the second session in the British Council Wider Europe Higher Education dialogue series: Are campuses a thing of the past?

Synopsis:

Covid-19 has had a significant impact on universities across the world.  Higher Education institutions had to respond to the pandemic very quickly by moving teaching and learning online, which has received mixed feedback from the students and teachers.  Questions have been raised on the university’s readiness and willingness to adopt new approaches in these challenging times.  Will this change the role and function of universities in the long run?  What do we need to do to be prepared for the future of universities and to meet new expectations from students and employers?  Join us for an interactive discussion with speakers from the UK and this region.

Speakers:

• Prof. Yusuf Baran, Rector, Izmir Institute of Technology, Turkey
• Sam Brenton, Director of Education, Innovation and Development, University of London
• Prof. Roderick Watkins, Vice Chancellor, Anglia Ruskin University
