5th University – Business Forum

Tuesday, June 4th, 2013

The 5th University – Business Forum will take place in in Brussels, Belgium on the 4th and 5th of June 2013. The event will be organized by the Education and Culture-Department of the European Comission.

The Forum will bring together 300 high-level representatives from; relevant European organisations and associations; Higher Education Institutions; large companies; SME’s, and national, regional and local authorities from Europe and beyond. It will be a unique opportunity to share and discuss your experiences, compare examples of good practice, to network and to learn from each other.
The previous forums were highly successful and all stakeholders welcomed this initiative from the Commission. All participants were convinced that better dialogue and closer cooperation between universities and business can make a substantial and positive contribution to Europe’s efforts to make our education and training systems more effective and efficient, thereby supporting our economic and social development.

The Forum will start in the morning on the 4th of June and finish at 1pm on the 5th. The mornings of the 4th and 5th June will feature plenary sessions, whereas the afternoon of the 4th will be organised into 4 parallel breakout sessions.

This year’s Forum will address topics related to entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial university; change and impact; people and innovation as well as taking a closer look at some of the main current trends in University-Business Cooperation.

The 57th ECCE General Meeting will be held in Porto, Portugal on May 31- June 1.

Join us in the EUCEN experience in Charmey, in the heart of Switzerland!

The day will include sessions on: Assessment and Feedback, OER (Open Educational Resources), Teaching for Diversity, Facilitating Small Group Teaching, & Professional Development and the HEA.

Successful engineering graduates require confidence in order to solve new problems, work with colleagues and excel in their careers. It has also been identified that confident engineering graduates are more likely to pursue careers in engineering. This workshop has been developed to consider how academics can enable engineering students to develop confidence through teaching, learning and assessment. In addition, the sessions have been designed to align with the appropriate NSS questions.

It is the first time that an NTT workshop has been sponsored by a professional engineering institution, the IET. Invited guest speakers (to be confirmed) will provide valuable context concerning employer expectations regarding desirable graduate abilities.
During this event delegates will develop Top 10 Tips for building confident engineers. It is envisaged that delegates will be able to create case studies of their new practices which can be disseminated amongst the community.

The Engineering Professors’ Council Annual Congress 2013 took place at the University of Portsmouth on 16/17 April 2013 with the theme: Engineering in Higher Education: Investing for Impact.
