Ulysseus European University is launching the second year of webinars on key regional and local challenges.
These are part of the calendar of activities of “COMPASS: Leading Ulysseus to become a European University excellence model through Research and Innovation”, a Horizon 2020 project of Ulysseus and the flagship for its R&I agenda and strategy.
Organised by Ulysseus Innovation Hubs, these webinars will bring together experts from academia, industry and NGO’s, among other organisations to discuss key regional and local challenges.
All over Europe, during last years, arouse an urgent need to develop an interdisciplinary training approach and professional figures in order to answer complex problems related to the enhancement of cultural heritage sites and related services. It requires a high degree of interaction and engagement, often limited by coordination barriers and in finding the appropriated funding opportunities.
At the educational level, it means enhancing the development of flexible paths, improving learning processes and boosting the acquisition of a broad range of skills. Studies, research and training need to converge methods and analytical frameworks from multiple disciplines, integrating human sciences with scientific experiences and competences. In this context, what are the main educational gaps in interdisciplinary instruction? And which supports would be favourable at national and/or international level? Through some good practices and hands-on experiences, the interdisciplinary approach will be analysed and promoted widely.
