What to expect:
Digital technologies are disrupting all areas of modern life, from the way
we create and distribute products, the way we analyze and regulate traffic,
to the way we socialize and interact with one another. The factory of
tomorrow has already been designed, as has the city of the future. But what
about the way we conduct research and train students, scientists, and the
workforce of the future? What about higher education? This panel discussion
will address how institutions of higher education in the US and Germany are
changing in the digital age. How do they meet the demands of a new
generation of scholars and scientists and how do they adapt to disruptive
technologies such as blockchain and cloud computing? How can new models of
public-private partnership assist in making these transitions?
