13 Mrz The power of peer-learning and change management during a pandemic
BeyondScale – Mid-Term Conference!
BeyondScale has the aim to develop the organisational capacity of Higher Education Institutions using the HEInnovate platform to facilitate peer learning and a pan-European community of practice.
Our mid-term conference aims to create space for various higher education stakeholders to engage in fruitful discussion. Covid-19 has posed several challenges for universities and intensified the pace of the institutional transformation. We want to share experiences about the role of change management in higher education from our partners and invited speakers, to facilitate peer-learning and collect relevant practices. Besides, the audience will have a chance to learn more about the future outlook of the BeyondScale project and the HEInnovate tool.
