Abstract:   (320 Views)
  • Universities need a new approach towards governance and foresight to adapt to rapid changes and environmental complexities, as well as to address emerging challenges. This approach enables them to identify emerging trends, anticipate future needs, and develop effective strategies to actively shape their future.
  • Two key drivers, "globalization of higher education" and "international interactions and political relations," were identified as the primary forces shaping the logic of future scenarios.
  • Four future scenarios for academic governance were developed: Infinite Horizon (Open), Short Horizon (Regional), Visible Horizon (Limited), and invisible Horizon (Closed).
