COPERNICUS Alliance - Higher Education Summit 2025 - Call for Contributions27 June 2025We are living in scary times. Climate change has become an even more pressing concern, with rising global temperatures and extreme weather events already impacting our lives – and posing even greater dangers to all forms of life.

Moreover, generative AI is enabling the production of enormous amounts of information, making it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. Meanwhile, polarization and social inequalities are increasing. The future does not look very bright.
Yet, we believe that the higher education community has both the responsibility and the capacity to turn the tide. This requires bold education: we need to be courageous and break the status quo. True systemic change demands transformative learning, inner development, regenerative leadership and a pedagogy of hope.Bold Education in Scary Times
