DESCRIPTION:As the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) marks its 60th ann
 iversary\, we invite you to a special DIAS event with this year's SDU Hon
 orary Doctors.\n\nSix distinguished scholars come together to reflect on 
 a question that feels more urgent than ever:\n[i]What should a university
  be in a changing world?[/i]\n\nAcross the globe\, universities are being
  challenged\, and some politically attacked. Their purpose is debated\, t
 heir value to society questioned. At the same time\, new technologies are
  reshaping how we produce\, share\, and recognise knowledge – raising dee
 per questions about what and how we teach\, how we collaborate\, and whos
 e contributions are seen.\n\nInside academia\, the culture of research is
  also evolving. Where most careers traditionally followed individual path
 s\, they now unfold in more collaborative environments\, bringing new ene
 rgy\, but also new uncertainties. What does mentorship look like when suc
 cess is no longer about standing out alone\, but about navigating complex
 ity together? How do we support early-career researchers\nin a system whe
 re only some will stay\, and many will move beyond academia?\n\nThis conv
 ersation brings these tensions into the open. The SDU Honorary Doctors wi
 ll explore:\n[list]\n[*]The contested value of higher education and the u
 niversity's role as a public institution\n[*]The ethics and changing natu
 re of academic collaboration and mentorship\n[*]How technological and soc
 ietal shifts are reshaping research and education\n[/list]\n\nThe event i
 s open to all: students\, staff\, alumni\, and anyone interested in the f
 uture of knowledge.\n\nAs SDU turns 60\, join us in reflecting\, question
 ing\, and imagining what the university can become\nnext.\n\n[b]Honorary 
 Doctors of 2026[/b]\n\nHUM:[b] Prof. Amanda Lagerkvist[/b]\, Uppsala Univ
 ersitet\nNAT: [b]Prof. Kimberly Ann Kline[/b]\, University of Geneva\nSAM
 F: [b]Prof. Scott Cummings[/b]\, UCLA School of Law\nSBS: [b]Prof. Bernar
