Abstract

How will higher education and research evolve in the future to produce the high-level knowledge and skilled human capital which underpin sustainable societies?

This book explores challenges for the post-knowledge society and economy where major socio-economic change is occurring in tandem with advances in digital technologies. It brings together international authors to discuss scenarios against a background of transformation, including the fourth wave of globalization, demographic shifts, socio-economic inequality, and climate change. Policy-makers, institutional leaders, the academy, students, employers and society at large will find this book topical and thoughtful.
