Conferences and Festivals

University:Future Festival

The University:Future Festival breaks new ground as the first digital festival for higher education in Germany. Since the beginning of 2020, the world of higher education has been turned upside down. Technology and innovative concepts of teaching have become an essential part of everyday university life. This is what motivates us for the three-day festival: a look back at the digital summer semester 2020 – and even more a look ahead to the future of higher education.

Attendance of the festival is free. 

From 6 to 8 October 2020 the University:Future Festival will bring together teachers, students, university management and other stakeholders from universities, politics and society. We will create a virtual space for exchange on higher education. The festival consists of three programme days:

BarCamp:Day (Tuesday, 06.10.): In the open BarCamp format, participants develop the agenda of the day themselves.

Conference:Day (Wednesday, 07.10.): In parallel live streams, German and international experts will share their expertise about higher education after 2020.

Workshops:Day (Thursday, 08.10.): In longer workshops, participants collaborate and learn from each other.

 

#DigiEduHack - Together we redefine learning

The Hochschulforum Digitalisierung is one of the partners of the hackathon together with the BMBF and the DAAD. The Main Stage Event in Berlin is organized by HFD, DAAD and TU Berlin. Currently hosts for local (digital, blended and analog) hackathons are being sought.

Strategy Conferences

At our annual strategy conferences, we bring together all current findings and projects from the universities. The conferences additionally offer for universities of peer-to-peer strategy consulting the opportunity to exchange, network and share their findings from the consulting process with the community.
