BENGTSEN Aarhus University, Denmark RONALD BARNETT University College London, Institute of Education, UK Does the future university await or is it to be designed? Will it just come upon us or does it lend itself to action in the here-and-now, striving to bring about change? The easy answer is that it is a bit of both. University leadership, it may be said, takes on precisely this character, an imagining of future possibilities and the orchestration of their management. All the while, those efforts at building towards espied futures will be understood to unfold within a turbu- lent world order, an unstable situation exacerbated by universities being—to some degree or other—global institutions. There can never be a sure path to any envisaged future for a university. No matter how much insight accrues from imaginative efforts and no matter how carefully planned and managed, university action plans are always liable to being undermined by unforeseen— and indeed unforeseeable—exigencies. This special issue delves into this matter—of imagining the future university—and teases out some of its intricacies. How intractable, and how pow- erful, are the forces at work that swirl in and through universities? What, in other words, is the ontological landscape within which the university moves? Just what room might there be even for any imaginative work? Can a mul- tiplicity of future university forms seriously be discerned or has the horizon drawn in, limiting the room for significant innovation? Perhaps imagination is limited largely to projecting into the future current trends; and perhaps those trends are severely constrained, oriented towards instrumental, robotic, digital, economic, and systems forms of innovation. And perhaps, too, large traditional imaginaries of the university, say around © 2020 Søren S. E.

On the other hand, it just may be—again, largely undetected—that spaces are opening for quite new forms of the university to emerge in the not-too-distant future. However, if that latter construal has substance, other matters quickly arise as to how future possibilities are to be discerned in and by the university. To what extent
