Theme—Higher Education in 2035: Blind Curves Ahead or Open Roads

1. What road is higher education taking? Are we going in the right direction? What will be the idea of a university?

2. Who will be in the driver's seat? What forces will shape tomorrow’s university? What are your hopes and dreams?

3. Who are the new passengers? What does the scenery look like from their window? How can we
   play a role?
