Roles, driving forces of change, scenarios and policy challenges

11-12 December 2003, Tokyo

The OECD/Japan Seminar is a programme organised by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports Science and Technology (MEXT) and the OECD. The purpose of the seminar is to provide participants from OECD with opportunity to exchange information and views on the theme chosen each year.
This year, the seminar theme “The Future of Universities: Roles, driving forces of change, scenarios and policy challenges”.

The purpose of this meeting is to provide an opportunity for policy makers and stakeholders in higher education to discuss the long turn future of universities. The OECD/CERI project on the future of universities will analyze possible ways society might meet the need for research, teaching and learning, and services and what kind of roles universities will perform. Looking ten to twenty years ahead, this will be done by elaborating on a small number of scenarios for the future of universities. Exploring different scenarios on the possible future of universities will help policymakers and stakeholders follow the most desirable paths. The OECD Secretariat will introduce a preliminary set of scenarios at the seminar for discussion.
