- Tartu Ülikool on rahvusvahelise ülikoolina maailmale avatud ning vastutab samal ajal rahvusülikoolina Eesti riigi ja ühiskonna arengu eest. Kuidas tagada, et rahvusvahelistumine looks püsivat lisaväärtust eesti teadusele, kultuurile ja majandusele?
- Geopoliitilised muutused mõjutavad üha enam teaduse ja kõrghariduse olukorda ning koostöövõimalusi. Kuidas peaks Tartu Ülikool end neis tingimustes määratlema, et neid võimalusi ära kasutada ja riske maandada?

- Demokraatia ja akadeemiline vabadus on surve all paljudes maailma piirkondades. Kuidas saab Tartu Ülikool rahvusvahelise koostöö kaudu neid väärtusi kaitsta?
