Academic-Corporate Collaborations and the Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier

Ramtin Attar, Autodesk
Georgia Chao, NSF

Pramod Khargonekar, UC Irvine
Grace Wang, SUNY

Workshop Overview

Much attention is being paid to the Future of Work and its broad impact on people, how they work and live, how companies employ individuals, the role of government in supporting scholarship in this arena and developing programs to ameliorate negative consequences while proactively launching initiatives to produce positive outcomes. In response, the US-based National Science Foundation (NSF) launched its Big Ideas initiatives and one priority, Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier (FW-HTF), seeks to provide a greater understanding of how constantly evolving technologies are actively shaping the lives of workers and how people, in turn, can shape those technologies, especially in the world of work.

This session will explore the role that academic-corporate collaborations can play in supporting FW-HTF initiative and add key insights into the future of work.

Among the questions to be considered:

I. How will instruction be affected
II. What is the role of the private sector in preparing current students and re-skilling current workers
III. What can government do to support FW-HTF efforts through strategic university-industry partnerships

Format

This highly participatory workshop will incorporate presentations and breakout/tabletop discussions while leaving significant time for Q&A.  Participants will be asked to share information on how their organization is preparing for a future with a different work model based on significant technology advancements.
