IAU-UOC series: Innovative Education for Unshaped Futures

The International Association of Universities (IAU) and the UOC have joined forces to produce a series of talks on Innovative Education for Unshaped Futures (IE4UF). They have focused on the changes currently taking place in higher education.
 
The series is divided into 6 hour-long sessions exploring the different levels of change. They move from broader themes to more specific areas in the second part of the series. Each talk includes the point of view of an online university and a campus university. 
 
The series have taken place between June and October 2021.
