​18th Unicorn University Open Conference "Education of the Future"

Digital technology has become a part of our everyday lives. It is truly ubiquitous. The education process is no different to other types of human activity. Just like the technology, the education never stops changing and evolving. Information is more accessible than ever and people can study from anywhere at any time. How far can the education go? What else could be accessed online? What are the opportunities brought along by digital education? These are just some of the questions addressed by speakers of the 18th the Unicorn University Open Conference. We will discuss current trends and predictions for years to come. We will talk about case studies, about the kind of education which helps students and the kind which helps their teachers. Also, we will address the education of work associates and the self-development of individuals.
