The Erasmus + project CaST focuses on how universities can work more effectively and more inclusively within their city communities by providing students with opportunities to work on local societal challenges. UGent is partner in the project and is happy to invite ENLIGHT colleagues to the Communities and Students Together(CaST) first symposium on Community Engaged Learning.
This free, online event will be an opportunity for the CaST Partners to share the first 2 outputs on Community Engaged Learning with colleagues and the wider community, and also to learn from other experts in the field, to help us plan and optimise our Engaged Learning pilot projects which are currently under development. The symposium will take place on Thursday 25th February 2021 from 10:00 until 16:00 CET.

The current pandemic poses unprecedented challenges for international cooperation, exchange and mobility but at the same time accelerates the digitalization in various parts of our professional and private lives. Both developments are important to science and higher education and can be used as an opportunity to form new sustainable approaches that use digitalization to improve internationalization at universities.

This is why on 23 to 24 March 2021 the University of Göttingen and the University of Tartu, with suport from the ENLIGHT partners, will jointly host a virtual conference on the topic of "The Impact of Digitisation on Internationalisation: Challenges and Opportunities for the Future of Universities".
