Show Notes

Let's talk about the future of tertiary education. Join us in exploring the evolving landscape of tertiary education, where we seek to uncover innovative approaches, identify potential challenges, and envision a brighter and more inclusive future for education on a global scale.

Throughout the series, we bring in thought leaders and practitioners who will share their valuable perspectives and experiences on a wide range of themes: from digital transformation and AI to collaboration in the tertiary sector, from skills development to the Sustainable Development Goals. This podcast builds upon the insights from two years of work by the Tertiary Education Futures project. These conversations aim to encourage thought-provoking discussions, spark new ideas, and inspire fresh approaches that can shape the future of tertiary education.

The Tertiary Education Futures project was created by the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) and the Young Academy of Scotland (YAS) as a ‘blue-skies’ thought experiment, informed by sectoral views gathered through a series of investigative roundtables. It aims to stimulate continued creative thinking about how post-school education might evolve over the next few decades and what this means for learners and society.

And that's perfectly okay maybe years later, that might be something that you'll be reconsidered. Ed Constable 1:03 We trained scientists to do science, we don't do a very good job at training them to communicate outside their discipline, Dr Mhairi Stewart 1:10 public engagement used to be a tool for research. And I think it's now become both the tool but also a field of research. Professor Anne Anderson FRSE 1:19 The project aims to stimulate creative thinking about how post school education might evolve over the next few decades. Loral Quinn 1:27 If we don't have diverse products and services in industry, if we don't have diverse teams, we're not creating those diverse products and services. So we're under serving half the population essentially, by having products and services that are not built by a diverse team, Dr Iain Donald 1:43 the vast majority of really interesting research breaks disciplines. Professor Lorna Dawson 1:47 We need more collaboration across universities, colleges, and institutions to help achieve that freedom of thought and develop clever ways to achieve the SDGs. Professor Anne Anderson 1:59 So please keep talking about the future of tertiary education. Until next time, goodbye.
