Exams are a core task of higher education institutions. They belong to learning and teaching just as students and teachers do. However, many certainties and routines are being challenged by digitisation and artificial intelligence and their impact on our way of life.  The lecture series "The Future of Exams: How to Assess in the Future?", organized by the Universities of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) and the Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH) in autumn 2023 and spring 2024, explores the issue from various perspectives and calls for discussion among peers.  
In her keynote in Basel on 14 November 2023, Rachel Forsyth, PFHEA (University of Lund), talks about exam cultures in Higher Education. Rachel Forsyth is the author of "Confident Assessment in Higher Education" (Sage 2022).
