Looking back on the stagnation of economic activity due to the normalization of the new coronavirus, the sudden rise in prices due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the changes in work styles due to technological advances, it seems that it is becoming increasingly difficult to predict the future society.
In such a social situation, expectations for educational and research activities at higher educational institutions, especially universities, are increasing, but it is difficult to say that these expectations have been met.
At this year’s Annual Study Meeting, we would like to discuss with the participants what kind of higher education policies the governments of each country are adopting to face such a turbulent society and what kind of educational, research, and administrative activities are expected of Japanese universities in recent years.
Venue: Hybrid (online + onsite)
