IAU Horizons: The University: Shaped by Values and Shaping Values

We are pleased to announce the release of a new edition of IAU Horizons. This issue of IAU Horizons offers insights on IAU initiatives and activities and presents articles related to the strategic priorities of the Association.

In today’s dynamic, complex, and ever-evolving global landscape, universities are increasingly finding themselves on the front lines of social tension, economic and environmental uncertainty, and political change. These challenges transcend geographical boundaries, impacting universities worldwide irrespective of their size, traditions, cultures, or operational styles. Against this backdrop , this ‘In Focus’ section dedicated to the theme The University: Shaping Values and Shaped by Values deals with the role of values, exploring both the ways that universities shape the values of their students and the values that universities themselves rely on for guidance in their decision-making, ethical conduct, strategic outlook and meaningful engagement.
