The relation between the university as the location of academic and scientific excellence and its civic environment, i.e. its social, cultural and political contexts, is rapidly changing. What are these changes and how can we deal with them? What is the social responsibility of the university in the contemporary world?
The conference The Idea of University and the Future of Knowledge. Views from the Humanities aims to investigate these questions. It also raises the question of what it means to be a learned and critical citizen of the world today and what the university’s role ought to be in forming the citizens of the future.
A swarm of Campus Orleon researchers will visit this conference.
