iCal calendarResearch Seminar on topic: Multi-Disciplinary Innovation in a Pandemic, in association with Burgas Free University - Digital Transformation, media and inclusion Conference
Seminar will be moderated by Dr Katri Liis Lepik
Knowledge Alliances between Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and enterprises which aim to foster innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity, employability, knowledge exchange and/or multidisciplinary teaching and learning are therefore becoming increasingly necessary and relevant. The challenge is to determine what we should teach in the future and how it should be taught. The changing nature of contemporary society highlights that social issues are often highly complex and multifaceted.
The aim of this Action is to demonstrate, through the adoption of Multi-Disciplinary Innovation (MDI) methods, how we can respond to social problems with a design-led approach which has a problem-oriented ethos, supporting positive social change and the development of international public policy discourse. It will be achieved through the establishment of a Pan-European Public Sector Innovation (ePSI) lab. It will prepare students for roles in employment by integrating education programmes into the lab’s operations and it will support agencies that have a role in responding to and developing public policy
The webinar will be about: "Multi-Disciplinary Innovation in a Pandemic". It's about multi-disciplinary and inter-sectoral innovation for societal change. We will discuss Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and their entrepreneurial role during the COVID19 crisis. The webinar will cover topics such as social innovations, new teaching practices, knowledge exchange in the social economy and COVID crisis contexts.
