FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AND HIGHER EDUCATION 2023 (FIRHE-2023)

The aim of this conference is to provide a platform to the researchers and engineers working on industry revolution and higher education. The concept of 4th Industrial Revolution or "Industry 4.0", was conceptualized in 2011 at the Hannover Fair in Germany to describe how this will revolutionize the organization of global value chains and manufacturing. The Fourth Industrial Revolution urges us to think creatively about the manufacturing process, value chain, distribution and customer service processes. The future of education emphasizes the need to look beyond these areas and utilize the "Internet of Things" to prepare the coming workforce for the challenges ahead. The need for education in general and higher education in particular to be "Place-based" is found to be irrelevant and diminishing day by day. Education is being connected to mobile devices through applications in the cloud and is no longer limited to knowledge but extended to skills acquisition. A mix between MOOCs, which are gaining more and more popularity, and traditional ways of delivering education is extremely vital for meeting the global job markets' needs.

The 1st International Conference on Fourth Industrial Revolution and Higher Education (FIRHE-2023), will be held from February 23rd- 25th, 2023 in Dibrugarh University Institute of Engineering and Technology, Dibrugarh, Assam, India and is the appropriate forum to exchange the views on the changes that will have to come in the Higher Education in India and abroad due to 4th Industrial Revolution.
