The work will be carried out in three progressive phases. We will bring the situation picture up to date in spring 2025 and outline the key objectives for the vision in the course of autumn 2025. Then we will publish the vision and the recommended measures for higher education and research in spring 2026.
Invitations will be extended to a broad spectrum of actors and stakeholders in the higher education and research fields to take part in the work for a new vision. In addition to events and stakeholder meetings, an open online platform will make it possible to comment on the work at different stages of the process.
On this page, we will post information on the progress being made an on relevant events and opportunities to interact.
Recent materials
The first phase stakeholder survey was organised in March-April. The survey is a key source for a shared situation picture.
Take part in the vision work
In order to prepare the vision, discussions with higher education institutions and various stakeholders will continue.
An open stakeholder consultation will be carried out at the beginning of the autumn. Open discussion events and thematic round table discussions will also be organised.
Representatives of the Ministry may also be invited to discuss the vision for stakeholder events.
The environment in which higher education institutions operate has changed significantly since 2017. Thus, the Ministry of Education and Culture will be formulating a new vision for higher education and research. The new vision aims to respond to the changes in society and to formulate long-term guidelines for enhancing higher education and research. The vision extends to 2040 and will identify the required measures to achieve the vision.
