15-18 June 2020 | ETH ZurichThe First Call closes on 17 November 2019.Today’s world is in a state of permanent and radical change which is affecting society, science and the economy in equal measure. In this process universities, as research institutions, are major and active protagonists.&#160;To prepare their graduates, however, they must also adapt their teaching to the new scenario of change. They must set new objectives, and be ready to deploy innovative approaches to teaching, learning and curriculum design.How can universities best do these things? How can they prepare today’s students to operate in a new research and working environment? How can they utilise new forms of teaching and learning effectively to equip students with the 21st-century skills they require and the tools to face the as-yet-undefined workings of a global economy? What didactic and technical approaches should they take? How might university teaching and learning spaces change?

What pedagogical skills and leadership attitudes do university faculty need in order to foster student-oriented teaching? Future-oriented universities must find workable answers to these and other questions.To learn more : https://iced2020.ch/
