Activity Plan & Goals

Technology for the future of education: The ongoing pandemic has shown that there are huge challenges to performing high-quality education via online or hybrid means. Calling for better educational systems including learning analytics, virtual reality, virtual labs and digital examination procedures. Further, it has also shown the huge challenge of replacing traditional examinations with online sessions. We might consider pairing technological research with applications in other domains in order to enhance the possible impact.
The future of knowledge creation: Rethinking the role of universities in society means breaking through traditional structures, limitations and responsibilities which are often culture related with historical roots. The structural mesh hinders innovative learning and the deployment of technology. We will focus on projects breaking today’s norms, to prepare for a radical paradigm shift (Knowledge 4.0) in higher education.
Skills for the digital future: New skills in all educations, from nurses to mechanics, imply a competence lift in industry and is a lifelong learning challenge. What are those required skills (collaboration, computational thinking, critical thinking, self-regulation in learning etc); and how should they be distributed to a larger cohort?
Community: Build strong relations to innovative forefront environments, such as current- and emerging leaders illustrated by The New Engineering Education Transformation at MIT (NEET), Singapore University of Design and Technology (SUDT) and TU Delft. Arrange workshops engaging with new knowledge and perspectives, allowing learning processes to take time, challenging the speed culture of digitalization.
