“Meta University.” As the name suggests, this initiative by the Learning of Tomorrow Association was launched with the goal of bringing together faculty members beyond the confines of traditional universities and providing a practical, useful learning environment through close collaboration with industry.In addition to a curriculum composed of top-tier faculty members from various fields beyond the boundaries of individual universities, the program is characterized by its emphasis on discussions and hands-on workshops rather than mere lectures, as well as its community-building functions that foster horizontal collaboration among participants and the faculty.
