ASEM Education in a digital world: Bridging the continents – connecting the people?
The Education Process of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) aims at fostering cooperation, mutual understanding, trust and exchange between Europe and Asia. Meanwhile, Industry 4.0 poses new chances and challenges on education, skills and employability.
The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) therefore organises the conference ‘ASEM Education in a digital world: bridging the continents – connecting the people?’
The conference focuses on the priorities of the ASEM Education Process in the digital era. It tackles questions on how ASEM countries can learn from each other in a digital world and how key instruments can be used for realizing the common vision of tangible and practical cooperation.
Target group: Representatives from higher education institutions (from ASEM member states); (junior) researchers taking part/ with an interest in Asian-European cooperation; political stakeholders from Asia and Europe
Registration will be open soon. More information can be found on the events webpage.
