IAU 2024 International Conference: Call for Proposals

THEME: University Values in a Changing World
The IAU 2024 International Conference will be held from 22-24 November at Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan.

In today’s dynamic and ever-evolving global landscape, universities find themselves navigating heightened complexity and uncertainty. Institutions and their leaders are increasingly compelled to adapt swiftly to a diverse range of expectations. Against this backdrop, this conference highlights the pivotal role of values, exploring how they provide universities with guidance for decision-making, ethical conduct, and meaningful engagement. Furthermore, conference sessions will assess the extent to which these values are used to address the grand challenges encountered by societies.
