In light of the profound transformations that are taking place, globally but also with specific characteristics in different parts of the world, we must rethink the role of higher education and its contribution to society. It is in this context that the Global University Network for Innovation (GUNi) aims to foster this necessary and timely discussion by publishing the 8th GUNi Report on Higher Education in the World. Entitled "New visions for higher education institutions towards 2030", the Report analyzes the state of higher education in the world and seeks to respond to the need to transform HEIs based on the experience accumulated by GUNi in the promotion of global and regional analyses and in the production of knowledge for institutional action and the formulation of public policies.

With contributions from more than 90 experts from around the world, the Report covers a wide range of topics: from the digital-human future to governance and public service, while addressing sustainability, work, and citizenship, among other aspects. As a distinctive feature, the Report focuses mainly on institutions and introduces regional perspectives with the aim of ensuring the applicability of the findings. The Report carries out a detailed analysis of the current situation in order to keep HEIs advancing successfully towards 2030 and beyond.

As a novelty, the 8th GUNi Report has been conceived as a living document that will evolve in the coming years. All materials have been published on a website that will be fed with new articles, interviews, videos, and podcasts: https://www.guni-call4action.org/
