Webinar ‘Opportunities for Collaboration in Education and Research’

On 12 March, the ATHENA Alliance organised the webinar ‘Opportunities for Collaboration in Education and Research’, which was hosted by the University of Siegen. More than 120 people, including deans, vice-deans and researchers from various departments at all ATHENA partner institutions, registered for this event. The webinar focused on our new strategy for establishing joint projects in research and education. After a general introduction by Prof Peter Haring Bolívar, ATHENA coordinator at the University of Siegen, the participants were divided into 5 thematic sessions: Four sessions were dedicated to the four thematic clusters that have been defined to facilitate cooperation in key areas of mutual interest:
Digitalisation for All – Innovative digital solutions for education & research
Sustainable Production – Advancing eco-friendly industrial practices
Health & Nutrition – Research in healthcare, nutrition & well-being
Creative Industries – Strengthening arts, media & culture

A fifth session focused on different ways of establishing joint educational programmes.

A big thank you to all participants for the engaging discussions and inspiring ideas! This event marks an important step in our joint efforts—let’s keep the momentum going!
