On July 1st and 2nd, 2021, Warsaw University of Technology organizes the international on-line workshop for academic teachers on on-line learning and teaching. The workshop will be held as part of the activities of the ENHANCE alliance.
ENHANCE is awarded funding from Horizon 2020, the largest European funding programme for research and innovation. The awarded project, ENHANCERIA, is funded as part of the Science with and for Society (SwafS) programme, the aim of which is to build effective cooperations between science and society, building capacities and developing innovative ways of connecting science to society.
The ENHANCE Alliance invites you on 15 June 2021, 16.00 – 17.30 CET to its first public discussion “ENHANCE Conversations”. In order to develop and utilise science and technology for the benefit of society, the ENHANCE Conversations use the disruption caused by COVID19 as an insight for radical questions.
The ENHANCE Higher Education Innovator System (HE Innovator) is a central unit of the network that will draw from our experience in innovation and apply relevant mechanisms to our organisational structures. Through this innovative mechanism, ENHANCE will greatly augment the quality of educational provision but also of administrative procedures.
The HE Innovator will address all members of our universities, from leadership to individual academic and administrative staff and students.
We envision that the HE Innovator will prepare the members and simultaneously draw on their expertise and experience to jointly develop the European University of Technology of the future.

Project ENHANCE
ENHANCE is an alliance of seven leading European Universities with a focus on science and engineering, which aims to create a new type of close European networks, enabling student and staff mobility, innovative forms of learning and close engagement with society on all levels.
The aim of ENHANCE is to create a new European academic space for the interaction between innovative technological progress, society and the natural environment. The alliance is committed to socially inclusive and sustainable research and education in science and technology by employing inter- and transdisciplinary approaches and co-creation methods (knowledge exchange) tackling the most pressing global challenges. As a consequence the boundaries between our member institutions and society will become permeable. ENHANCE will ensure that education and research have a social, economic and environmental impact, but it will also form a joint European sphere of knowledge, underpinning sustainable development, adhering to the highest standards of good practice in teaching and research, inclusivity and diversity.
