The University Alliance "Linking society and technology to shape sustainable futures" invites you to join the virtual Workshop entitled “What is the New Normal in Distance Learning in European Universities”, June 10^th 2021, 13:00 - 16:00 CEST.

This Alliance is a network of nine European Higher Education Institutions working together to develop a joint long-term strategy for education, research and outreach and provide innovative responses to existing and emerging societal challenges. The partners who have joined forces to work together towards achieving this vision are the National Technical University of Athens (GR), Brno University of Technology (CZ), Slovak University of Technology Bratislava (SK), Leibniz University Hannover (DE), Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT (FI), Jönköping University (SE), Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid (ES), Università degli studi Roma Tre (IT) and Technische Universität Wien (AT). Our shared vision is to develop a world class, transnational network with unique, multidisciplinary, and transcultural education programs and research initiatives, helping to educate and train the next generation of European innovators and leaders.

During the virtual Workshop, leading academic educators and university students from the nine universities of our Alliance will discuss Distance Learning as a new learning modality from social, technical and pedagogical perspectives.  Success stories and lessons learnt in the COVID-19 era will be shared within panel discussions to recognize advantages and opportunities for universities and work towards sustainable solutions for the European Higher Education Area.

The DL Workshop will be hosted online by the National Technical University of Athens with the contribution and active participation of all the Universities of the Alliance.
