ENLIGHT 2.0 kicks off on the 1st of November 2023! Our alliance is committed to keep promoting equitable life, sustainability, and global engagement through impact-driven and challenge-based transformation of higher education. But what is new in ENLIGHT 2.0?
On 16-17 Oct 2024, 20 teachers and researchers from ENLIGHT gathered in Uppsala, Sweden, to explore synergies and educational development opportunities within the thematic area of ‘A Just Sustainable City’. With the first day placing focus on joint learning and discussions around the participants’ respective research field, the second day explored new education formats being realized in the new ENLIGHT project period 2023-2027, and their implications for teaching and research on urban equity.
Participating universities:
The 2023 Teaching and Learning Conference took place from 11 - 13 October in Bordeaux. The central theme ‘Empowering students for tomorrow’ brought over 200 students, teachers and educational developers together to share and discuss innovative forms of teaching. Participants from all 10 partner universities engaged in workshops, interactive presentations and poster sessions with a stated aim of spreading educational ideas throughout these institutions.
Are you ready to embark on a transformative educational journey across boundaries? ENLIGHT offers a variety of courses to students from all partner institutions. Join us as we redefine education and empower you to shape your future!
By creating a stage to showcase student led initiatives promoting sustainability on university campuses ENLIGHT hope to inspire others to take similar action. Therefore ENLIGHT launched a global call for the presentation of such projects. These projects were presented in online sessions to a jury of students from the ENLIGHT Student Network and from ENLIGHT university Green Offices. The jury selected four projects to be presented with the ENLIGHT Global Citizenship 2023 for their great efforts. The award ceremony was held on October 12 in conjunction with the ENLIGHT Teaching & Learning Award during the ENLIGHT Teaching & Learning Conference in Bordeaux.
The second virtual gathering of the ENLIGHT Alumni Professionals Network, held on October 16, 2023, saw representatives from seven of the ten ENLIGHT universities come together online to discuss and deliberate on the crucial theme of Alumni Strategy.
Between 2 and 6 October 2023, Vice-Rector for International Relations Jozef Tancer from Comenius University (CU) and representatives of a number of Comenius University faculties visited three ENLIGHT partner universities. During their visits CU representatives sought ways of broadening the cooperation among universities.
In the winter semester, the ENLIGHT Lecture Series will focus on the topic "Energy Use & Circular Economy."
On 11-12 October 2023, the research group Responsus at the University of Groningen organised a series of events focusing on the role of (visual) language and communication in tackling future challenges.
