Keynote by Dr. Norbert Csizmadia:
FUTURQUOISE
The future is being born on our planet and it is turquoise. Representing a powerful fusion of Blue Zones (longevity and wellbeing) and Green Zones (biodiversity and sustainability), Turquoise Zones are the new global hotspots for quality of life, innovation, creativity, wellbeing, and happiness. These are the places where people live well, live long, and live with purpose, zones that embrace both human and planetary flourishing.
In my latest global debates study, I present the geography of Turquoise Zones, 101 inspiring places where the essence of sustainability, health, education, creativity, and cultural richness come together. These areas are more than just livable, they are visionary. They offer a life-centered, inclusive, and future-ready model for how and where we live, work, and thrive.
Blue Zones are known for their high rates of healthy centenarians, grounded in strong community ties, physical activity, and harmony with nature. Green Zones, meanwhile, represent the Earth’s most vital biodiversity hotspots, essential for our planet’s natural capital and human well-being.
The turquoise color, rich in both symbolism and science, blends the healing blue of oceans and skies with the renewing green of forests and fields. It is protective and inspiring, a beacon of innovation and vitality. In many cultures, turquoise is even associated with magic and healing energy.
Turquoise Zones, making up just 4% of the planet’s land but contributing to 64% of future sustainability, are the new epicenters of transformation. Combining quality, health, water, gastronomy, education, sunshine, and creativity, they represent the blueprint for the future of living.
Because where we choose to live defines our future and the future is turquoise.

The Discovery of Tomorrow - Mapping Our Future
As expert futurists point out, the four main engines of acceleration of the 21st century are digitalisation, automation, robotics and artificial intelligence. Yet, one needs to examine these megatrends beyond technology - through the lenses of natural, social, economic and cultural change.
In order to be successful in today’s world, an educational organization shall strive to achieve a high level of both internal and external complexity, connectivity and sustainability. This can be achieved by using the latest technologies and - at the same time - harnessing the powers of historic human traits of knowledge and involvement.
It is true that to understand the world, we need to start from the future. Yet, we believe that in order to be successful in this, we need to see what we we can learn from old human knowledge and how we can translate it into the 21st century. We believe that it is important for digital universities to know and apply what we call the "knowledge of the ancients” - creating an extra content layer based on technology, with the help of digital storytelling, using stories, music and maps.
So, is it possible that apart from technology, a higher education institute includes unquantifiable factors such as fairy tales, myths, music, culture, geography and history into the digital discovery of tomorrow?

GeoVision
The importance of maps has been invaluable since the dawn of human civilization. Recently though, we seem to have forgotten that in our complex world, new and innovative maps are still there to aid us in the orientation among the new obstacles of navigation. The logic stays the same - but the maps are new and portray an amazing perspective to look at our world.
