Opening Talk, PROTO UNIVERSITY

In the 21st century where science and technology are making advances exponentially, the role of the university is about to change significantly. Instead of basing our considerations on blind acceptance of today’s university, we set out to consider the very existence of the university from its fetal stage  (PROTO). Thus, PROTO-UNIVERSITY. The opening talk will draw auxilary lines for considering what a university should be, from technological, cultural, historical, political, and cross-sectional viewpoints.
