NEWS & EVENTS

The Winter School is targeted at PhD students in all disciplines dealing with Classical and Late Antiquity and aims especially at first- (and to some extent also second-)year PhD students who are looking to build and strengthen academic and transferable skills in presenting, research communication and networking. It is open to PhD students from the member universities of the ENLIGHT network. 

Two international research consortia led by the University of Tartu received €30 million from the European Commission each for the development of two research centres in Estonia over the next six years. One of the centres deals with the digitalisation of synthetic biology and the other with personalised medicine. The Estonian state will also give €30 million. Besides research excellence, the centres will boost the development of digitalised bioindustry and start-ups working on data-based health services. 

The University of Tartu Centre for Sustainable Development develops interdisciplinary cooperation on sustainable development. The aim is to analyse societal challenges, using concepts and methods from different disciplines and seeking common understanding.

The ENLIGHT alliance has created its Research & Innovation Observatory, a comprehensive platform of information presenting the research and innovation capacities of, and synergies between the ENLIGHT universities. The ENLIGHT R&I Observatory also collates the outputs from the alliance development related to Research & Innovation.

More specifically, the Observatory aims to move towards the creation of a common R&I agenda for the ENLIGHT alliance by facilitating the identification of expertise and potential synergies amongst the ENLIGHT universities and its external stakeholders (i) and fostering exchange, mutual learning and collaboration amongst the broader ENLIGHT community (ii).

Virtual exchange is an important part of ENLIGHT's vision of increased mobility in Europe.

Driving innovation in research is one of the central concerns of the ENLIGHT and a part of the transformation envisaged for higher education. On our new YouTube playlist on Research & Innovation, we are presenting e.g. recordings of our workshops and other activities. New videos will be posted at irregular intervals. Subscribe to the playlist and be informed directly when there is news.

The Comenius University Green Guide provides a comprehensive overview of useful tips, tricks, resources, and services for making students’ time in Bratislava more sustainable, eco-friendly, and pleasant.
