Panel Discussion “Envisioning HEIs in 2030 – What will have been changed?”
26 September 2017
Some quotes of a very interesting discussion:

“Requirements to sustainable development in higher education organisations came fast. You need to deal confidently with this blank horizon.”
Dr. Rodrigo Lozano

“We can’t teach an engineer the same way as a sociologist. We have to recognize the diversity and find out the targeting. We have to learn proper tolerance. It’s difficult!”
Clemens Mader

“Sustainability has to be understood in the context of culture and you need to develop a long perspective understanding.”
Felix Spira
