Re-Inventing the University - Creating a New Vision

Conference Papers

Please find below the main papers/presentations from a very successful conference around Re-Inventing the University organised jointly between Dublin City University and Arizona State University. They address the need for critical and proactive thinking to develop a bold new strategy for the 21st Century university. They address themes such as design principles, access and participation, the economic impact of higher education, how to deal with a complex global world, the needs of business, the importance of public engagement and the student perspective. In the weeks to come we shall make available a forum for discussion around these themes and the need for the Irish university in particular to develop new design principles. In the meantime please send any comments to Professor Ronnie Munck at ronnie.munck@dcu.ie'
