Universities are facing one of the most consequential periods in their history. Shifting demographics, rapid advances in technology, rising costs, geopolitical tension, and changing expectations from students and employers are challenging long-established models of higher education. At the same time, universities remain essential institutions for talent development, research, innovation, and social mobility. This session examines how universities can remain relevant, resilient, and trusted over the next decade. Bringing together leaders from globally respected institutions across Asia, the Middle East, and North America, the discussion will explore how universities are rethinking teaching, research, funding, and global engagement. The conversation will focus on how higher education can adapt to a world of continuous learning, digital transformation, and global competition — while preserving its core mission of knowledge creation and public value.
