  • Affordable access to quality higher education has been a cornerstone of American life since the nation’s founding. American higher education is admired around the world as a model of excellence and innovation, but there is a consensus today that higher education in the U.S. is not on a sustainable path. There are no simple solutions to the problems plaguing colleges and universities. A small band of innovators has taken up the challenge, launched a revolution and has started to remake higher education. The result will be a new, more sustainable ecosystem. Technology holds the key to innovation in higher education. I want to describe the world that the innovators are building, using as examples the innovations powered by online education, unexpected partnerships, business reinvention and a willingness to disrupt the status quo. What will the University of the 21st Century Look like? It will be very different from the ones we attended. Podiumsgäste: Dr. Michael Mihatsch (Ministerialdirigent am Bayerischen Staatsministerium für Bildung und Kultus, Wissenschaft und Kunst), Prof. Dr. Martin Wirsing (Vizepräsident an der LMU München), Alexander Fehr (Leitung der Geschäftsstelle der Universität Bayern e.V.)
