ChineseVISTA – Exploring Future Skills
4th Industrial Revolution. Innovation. Digitalisation. Globalisation. We are experiencing never seen dynamics and fast-paced changes in our life. The way we work is transforming, and new opportunities arise, but how to get prepared for the unforeseeable future and its challenges? What are the main trends and what can we predict and learn from them? Do you know how to turn the vast amount of knowledge gained while in academia into an opportunity?
The program is designed to reflect on the current changes and to provide practical advice and insights into various sectors from established thought leaders and professionals. Topics will include the impact of digitisation and mapping "future skills" essential to develop a successful career. Our mission is to bring together practitioners and students to exchange ideas and to inspire the leaders of today and tomorrow.
VISTA is launched in collaboration with the New Generation Centre project and as a side event of the Young Leaders’ Forum 2019.
The event is public, but registration is needed.
