Abstract

The widely shared practices of current higher education were designed for the needs of the industrial era. That world does not exist anymore. We must provide students with skills of global citizenship and cultural sensitiveness, and competences such as critical thinking, initiative, creativity, team working and networking. We live surrounded by new ways of thinking, understanding and acting that simultaneously point to a new step in innovation. We are challenged, more than ever, to be able to combine different kinds of knowledge, skills and attitudes to solve the wicked problems facing our workplaces, society and the globe. The crucial question is how higher education respond to these challenges and competence requirements. © 2020, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
