Never before in the history of higher education had it been necessary to implement new modes of teaching and communication as quickly and comprehensively as in 2020. One thing is clear: the world of higher education will be different after 2020. The year 2020 was the time to set the course for the future of higher education. At the Universtity:Future Festival 2020, you could join the discussion on how teaching, learning, cooperation and exchange will take place in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For three days we brought together teachers, students, university management and other stakeholders from universities, politics and society. We created a virtual space for exchange on higher education, where you could meet old acquaintances and get to know new like-minded people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The programme of the University:Future Festival focused on higher education teaching in and after the pandemic – the “New Normal”. Together, we took a look back at the digital summer semester 2020 – and a look ahead to the future of higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From interactive BarCamps and exciting sessions to creative workshops <\/strong>– with the University:Future Festival we created a platform for an exchange on the future of higher education. On Conference:Day, national and international speakers gave insights into their personal experiences from theory and practice, on our Workshop:Day, participants were able to experience the New Normal, and on our Barcamp:Day, participants could become active and discuss what the future of higher education and the New Normal might look like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As we see ourselves as part of a network, we are especially pleased that the programme on all three days was mainly fed by submissions from our community!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
