Between the 27th and 29th of March, twenty bright minds from all over Europe have gathered in Vienna for developing possible scenarios concerning the future
of research and higher education in the Danube Region.
After getting numerous insights on strategic foresight methodology provided by our guest professors during the lectures, participants have worked within their assigned group and dealt with
four different thematic areas: University Autonomy and Governance, Science and Learning in Digital Era, Scientific Research for
European Decision Making, and Employability of Students and Early-stage researchers.
It was just the first meeting, but the proactiveness of the participants, as well as the early results they have already brought, clearly show that the project outcome will be a valuable
contribution to analysing what is ahead of us when it comes to the future scenarios of higher education in the region!
Therefore, we thank all the participants for being a great group of young researchers and for bringing their enthusiasm to Vienna, the visiting lecturers for
the valuable inputs provided, and the IDM team for implementing the project!
The first in-person meeting is just the beginning of the project, which will continue throughout the upcoming months. Don't forget to follow our social media channels to keep on track of
it!
