UNITA Lifelong Education Staff Week at Universitatea de Vest din Timișoara

Between October 14–16, West University of Timișoara became the meeting point for the working teams of the European alliance UNITA – Universitas Montium, which work in the field of Education and Lifelong Learning, UNITA’s third Work Package as part of the alliance’s expansion and consolidation phase (2023–2027). The task members gathered in Timișoara for the UNITA Lifelong Education Staff Week.

UNITA Lifelong Education Staff Week at Universitatea de Vest din Timișoara

Timp de trei zile, aproximativ 90 de reprezentanți ai celor 12 universități partenere și asociate vor continua să dezvolte activitățile alianței în domeniul Educației, în contextul rezultatelor deja obținute până acum și al obiectivelor pentru următorii doi ani. Evenimentul de la Timișoara are loc într-un moment-cheie pentru alianța noastră, dar și pentru Inițiativa Universități Europene, când așteptările de la alianțele europene sunt tot mai ridicate. Astfel, pentru a maximiza rezultatele evenimentului în ceea ce privește contribuția lui la consolidarea alianței și a inițiativelor sale în domeniul Educației pe Tot Parcursul Vieții, UVT a propus un program complex, care include întâlniri ale prorectorilor responsabili cu Educația de la toate universitățile partenere, cât și sesiuni ale grupurilor de lucru din alianță preocupate de internaționalizarea parcursului academic al studenților, microcertificări, inovare în predare și învățare, sau campusul digital UNITA. Mai mult decât atât, UVT propune participanților o serie de prelegeri care vor aduce în prim-plan perspective europene asupra viitorului educației:

  • „Strategic Perspectives on Lifelong Learning in Europe and beyond” – o reflecție asupra învățării pe tot parcursul vieții, a responsabilității instituționale și a incluziunii.
  • „The Role of European Universities Alliances in Advancing Shared Educational Futures” – schimburi de bune practici între UNITA și alianțele EC2UEUT+ și ARQUS;
  • „The Elephant in the Room: Teaching and Learning with Artificial Intelligence” – o discuție actuală despre provocările și oportunitățile integrate de noile tehnologii.

Prin găzduirea întâlnirii anuale a alianței UNITA care e dedicată Educației pe Tot Parcursul Vieții, UVT reafirmă rolul său în cadrul alianței europene din care facem parte, dar și angajamentul său pentru o educație inovatoare, deschisă și conectată la Europa universitară.
