Boundaries between disciplines are to be overcome, limits of imagination and thinking are to be pushed beyond the expected. For the public conference, interdisciplinary students and fellows from all over the world gather to challenge the conventional understanding of truth and knowledge in education and co-develop future visions for a pioneering university.

As kickoff event of the FOUNDING LAB Forum and insightful reflection on the FOUNDING LAB Summer School, the conference provides an initial impulse for the direction that the brand-new university will take and invites the audience to participate in a deep dive into questions related to ownership of knowledge, impact of AI on research and innovation, hard skills and critical thinking capacities for navigating an interconnected world, as well as the technological transformation of society, science and academia.
