Panel session, hosted by Elsevier.<\/p>\n
What will research look like 10 years from now? When Elsevier joined forces with\u202fIpsos MORI in 2019 to conduct a large-scale, future-scoping and scenario-planning study on future of research, the disrupting power of an unexpected pandemic was factored in although only partially \u2013 as a signpost event in one of the plausible scenarios, that could happen and would impact research funding and programs. We interviewed over 50 funders, futurists, publishers and technology experts and surveyed more than 2,000 researchers to find out how current drivers and trends might shape the research landscape in the decade ahead. Now in light of COVID-19, how key drivers in the academic and research system may or may not be affected by the pandemic is up for discussion. COVID-19 will likely accelerate some trends in the area of digitization and adoption of new technologies, and impact elements of University\u2019s strategies. For instance, what will be the long term effect on digital strategies of Universities? How research information systems will develop to support researchers and teams working remotely? What elements of Open Science will be getting a boost? What\u2019s the future of collaborations and sharing research? How will the current situation help model future learning and stimulate innovation in learning spaces? What elements of AI will be adopted?<\/p>\n
We will discuss these questions with our expert panel:<\/p>\n
