The International Forum on Higher Education Impact: Why Tech Isn’t Enough — Empowering the Future Through Social Science and Humanities
On April 16, 2025, MAQSUT NARIKBAYEV UNIVERSITY will host the International Forum on Higher Education Impact: Why Tech Isn’t Enough — Empowering The Future Through Social Science and Humanities
The forum is dedicated to the role of social sciences and humanities in shaping the future of higher education. At a time when global trends prioritise technology and a technocratic approach, the question arises: Is it possible to build the future relying solely on technology, and how do the humanities contribute to maintaining balance?
The forum will bring together leading scientists, researchers, representatives of the public sector, business and international organizations. Speakers and participants will discuss the prospects for the development of higher education, the impact of social, economic and legal disciplines on the transformation of universities and their role in the sustainable development of society.
