Call for Students: secure your seat in the Digital Sustainable Campus Workshop

In a two-day workshop, we offer you a seat at the table to co-develop the virtual campus and bring in your ideas and needs as a student. Register now to seize the opportunity and secure one of the limited participation scholarships!

Learning doesn't just happen. At the university, we learn with each other, from each other and sometimes even about each other. We go to lectures, discuss in seminars, carry out practical experiments in the lab and read our way through half the university library. And we are increasingly learning digitally.

Since 2019, your university has been part of the EDUC alliance, which brings exciting virtual courses of other European universities to your desk at home. The diverse courses have one thing in common: you learn digitally with international peers from 8 universities that are part of EDUC. For this, the EDUC virtual campus is currently being created and you should be part of this process!

What is the workshop about?

We invite you to participate in a thought-provoking two-day workshop focused on reimagining your digital university campus. The EDUC alliance is offering a virtual campus to its students that provides digital learning opportunities for you with peers from the eight partner universities. The shift towards a sustainable campus is crucial, and students, as the leaders of tomorrow, are key stakeholders in this transformation.  EDUC is hosting a workshop to delve into the intersection of sustainability and digital campuses. Throughout the workshop we want to find out what components the campus already features and how we can continue to build the campus in a more and more sustainable way.

Students from various fields across all EDUC universities will collaborate to explore innovative solutions. Together, we'll address pressing questions: 

• How can digital campuses align with sustainability principles? 
• What measures can enhance connectivity while reducing environmental impact? 
• What does a digital campus need to foster connectivity and social moments among peers? 

Who can Participate?

This workshop is open to students from all disciplines from EDUC partner universities. Whether you are studying computer science, humanities, environmental science or any other field, your unique perspective is valuable in shaping the EDUC sustainable digital campus.
