EUTOPIA Week in Dresden: Universities united for innovative education!
From autumn 2025 onwards TU Dresden introduced the EUTOPIA label, which will identify teaching and learning opportunities that were created in cooperation with at least one of the EUTOPIA partners. This label will highlight events from the so-called Connected Communities (CCs) as well as other offers from new EUTOPIA partnerships. The use of the EUTOPIA label emphasizes international cooperation, innovative formats and the promotion of Internationalisierung@home.
The featured events are designed to provide specialized content and transnational perspectives. This gives students the opportunity to experience European cooperation directly. The label will be visible in OPAL courses, information materials and on teachers' websites. It serves to highlight the offerings that are characterized by European networking and to make their contribution to research, teaching and curriculum development visible. It pursues the goal of anchoring networked learning in the European context in studies and teaching.
EUTOPIA week at TU Dresden
The EUTOPIA initiative will be further strengthened with a special event in December 2023. The ten partner universities will meet for the first time at the from December 4th to 6th, 2023 TU Dresden during EUTOPIA week. Under the motto “Ecosystems of Innovation”, the future of the EUTOPIA alliance will be discussed and new cooperation opportunities will be discussed. Around 200 guests are expected at the opening ceremony on December 4th, including rectors, vice-rectors, student representatives, university professors, administrative staff and experts.
As part of the EUTOPIA week, the focus is on topics such as sustainability, innovative teaching, technology transfer and research cooperation. A central component of the alliance are the “Connected Communities”, which create networks to address current challenges in research and teaching. Those interested have the opportunity to take part in the “Connected Communities” until January 26, 2024.
Young Leaders Academy and EUTOPIA TRAIN
A highlight of the event will be the start of the first seminar of the “Young Leaders Academy”, a two-year training program for young researchers. In addition, delegates from EUTOPIA's central committees, including the President's Council, the Advisory Board and the Student Council, will meet in Dresden. In this context, members of the EUTOPIA TRAIN project will also present the results of networking the research infrastructure within EUTOPIA and discuss a common research and innovation policy.
