Does the diploma have its own period of validity? How will the Alpha generation, VR and digital technologies change higher education? What kind of university do we want to see in the future?
ECIU University days 2020 at KTU – event organised to raise awareness about the initiative with the academic community, key external partners such as companies, societal partners, and governmental organisations. We hope that this event will become an annual tradition.
This year’s event theme is “Challenges Worthy of Higher Education”. More attention will be paid to innovations in digitisation and advanced technologies, as well as to the issues of sustainable economic development and the impact on higher education. The online conference will also address the characteristics and the needs of current and future students. Finally, participants will discuss the possible directions for development of the university to meet changing needs.
Language of the event: Lithuanian
The broadcast of the event will be available on Slido platform: http://sli.do/eciu
