Open Access Publishing Association collaborates with the Communication Institute of Greece to respond to the timing and important question of the Education Future.
There is a clear need for practical implications for school governance in increasingly dynamic and complex educational environments (Mujari et al., 2026) while HEIs can serve as proactive agents of positive change in an increasingly interconnected world (Mehboob U. H. et al., 2025). How HEIs can remain relevant, resilient and effective including students, academics and administrative voices?

The President of the Communication Institute of Greece, Dr. Margarita Kefalaki, will guide the discussion.
