Putting Una Europa on the programme
Una Europa was prominently represented on the EAIE conference programme by alliance colleagues. Amandine Duraz (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) and Lara Sorrentino (Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna) equipped delegates to design their own micro-credential, while KU Leuven's Matt Tips supported institutions to embrace green mobility practices. Francesco Girotti (Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna) explored the transformational change university alliances have brought about in higher education institutions and Bert Willems (KU Leuven) charted digital recognition from paper to pixel.
That's just a flavour of the many facets of Una Europa's vision for a University of the Future that were explored in sessions and workshops. We look forward to seeing even more Una Europa colleagues' impactful work reach new audiences at EAIE 2024 in Toulouse.
Shining a spotlight on Una Europa specialists
Una Europa welcomed six experts to the stand for our Specialist Spotlight series. Our Specialists invited conference delegates to explore the impact Una Europa is achieving in strategic areas, spanning student mobility to sustainability and climate protection.
Among the experts was Senior Project Lead for Student Empowerment, Stinne Vognæs (University of Helinski), who articulated Una Europa's vision for student engagement: "In the absence of existing frameworks, staff and students can create new structures and ways of working together. Instead of a model of providers and receivers, we can build a community of mutual responsibility and commitment.
