The 7th International Future of Education Conference was organized in collaboration with the World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS) and the World University Consortium.

The conference aimed to develop a personalized, scalable global higher education model aligned with the UN Agenda 2030 goals.

The conference aimed to establish a personalized, interdisciplinary, student-centered, and scalable global higher education model. Its primary focus was to make quality education accessible to all, achieve SDG4 (quality education for all), and leverage Artificial Intelligence to support the other 16 Sustainable Development Goals. The event was held as part of the World Academy’s Human Security for All campaign.

“The new methodology of science should be developed with the understanding that the fundamental building block of life is not the atom but information. When our approach to the fundamental building block of life—knowledge—changes, the education of the future will take shape.” -Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Prof. Dr. Türker Kılıç

 

“A World University Should Be Established for the Future of Education”

The concept of a “World University” was among the main focus points of the World Academy of Art and Science Conference. In a project co-designed with the United Nations, it is planned to implement programs following a common curriculum across select universities worldwide. With the advancements in artificial intelligence and technology today, there are greater opportunities to enhance World Universities in terms of pedagogy, content, and the delivery of education. The primary goal of the World University concept is to provide affordable, high-quality, personalized, interdisciplinary, and lifelong accessible education for all.

“The best way to learn is by te hing others, and that is the greatest contribution to knowledge.” – Garry Jacobs, President of the World Academy of Art and Science
