Three weeks, 100 international students, and technological advancements that will change the world forever: The most significant international symposium in support art & technology - the Ars Electronica Festival - and Upper Austria's largest institute of education, the Johannes Kepler University Linz, opens in new window - joined forces to organize a very special Festival University program.

Robotics, brain interfaces, artificial intelligence, digitization, a circular economy, and new forms of energy for the future: While you can’t stop new technologies from changing our world, you CAN be a part of the way they will shape our everyday lives – it’s all in your hands!

Together with highly experienced, international experts from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and other world-leading research institutions as well as artists many have only seen on YouTube, Festival University participants thought about, planned and developed ideas to supporrt digital transformation: What are the most important issues of our time? How do we make more people aware and ready to be part of the solution and not part of the problem? What should - and how will - universities look like in the future?
