9:00 am - 10:00 am Opening Ceremony

Keynote Speaker 1

The Role of Universities in Promoting Lifelong Learning

Given the increasingly rapid change in our societies, early-life study programmes

cannot be expected to provide all the knowledge an individual might need

throughout their working and living life. Instead the “what has to be learned”

must be continually re-invented and renewed. This session will shed light on

strategic efforts such as initiatives into transdisciplinary applied research in the

field of Lifelong Learning (hereafter: LLL) to inform teaching and highlight the

university’s commitment to knowledge and technology transfer. The session will

also highlight on close collaboration with diverse regional, national and

international stakeholders, including businesses, which play a vital role in the

provision of LLL strategy.

10:00 am – 10:20 am Networking Coffee Break

10:25 am – 11:05 am

Roundtable Discussion 1

The Role of Universities in the Digital Age

The Fourth Industrial Revolution urges us to think creatively about the

manufacturing process, value chain, distribution and customer service processes.

In the meanwhile, the future of education emphasises the immense need to look

beyond these areas and strategically utilise the “Internet of Things” to prepare the

coming workforce for the challenges ahead. This session will discuss on the role

of universities in shaping future technology by being the testbeds for innovation

and educating future generations.

11:05 am – 11:15 am Question and Answer session

Keynote Speaker 2

The Role of Universities as Innovation and Enterprise Drivers The role of universities as drivers for innovation and enterprise has increasingly

been recognised, with many reports highlighting the role of university-business

collaborations in driving local economic development. The university

collaboration is valuable for new-to-the-market innovation, particularly to

smaller companies. This session will highlight on the key benefits as well as the

‘market failures’ that cannot be ignored: the lack of awareness of the potential

benefits from university collaboration, and the lack of knowledge of potential

university partners.

Roundtable Discussion 2

The Role of Universities in Quadruple-Helix Collaboration (QHC)

The Quadruple-Helix relationship between university, industry, government and

community plays an increasingly crucial role in the production, transfer and

application of knowledge in the future - how are these collaborations developed

and fostered? We believe it is timely to accelerate the initiatives thus far, and

move to the next phase not just research but research and development with

emphasis on commercial potentials of knowledge generated from the research

activities. Hence, this closing panel discussion looks into how QHC can be further

fostered through knowledge sharing, expertise clustering, innovation production,

and spin-off companies for the country.
