The University of Tartu conference: "VISION 2032"
You are invited to join the University of Tartu and other Estonian opinion leaders, visionaries, educators and scholars to discuss the state of the world in the year 2032.
The conference “Vision 2032”, to be held on 11 April 2014 at 10.00 in the University of Tartu Assembly Hall, intends to discuss what the world will look like in one generation from now, when children who are born today will reach college age.
The Assembly Hall will be the meeting place of opinion leaders and decision makers who are willing to think along with us.
