Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has proved that digitization is an imperative in higher education and the ability to adapt to the next normal will represent a powerful competitive advantage in the industry. This paper analyses the possibilities in establishing new practices in transforming higher education by implementing and using disruptive technologies, taking advantage from the collaborative nature between digitization and disruptive innovation. The pandemic is urging digital transformation of higher education institutions, forcing professionals in identifying opportunities, changing value propositions or developing new operating models for the challenges higher education faces. Growing interest in the academic communities for disruptive technologies adoption highlights the need for higher education institutions to become more agile and plan for the post-pandemic future. With a relevant digital strategy, the University is able to drive efficiency, create superior digital offer, enable curriculum improvements and meet students’ digital expectations.
