The European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU), [of which TUL is a partner], is celebrating its 25th anniversary. The 14 member institutions will reflect on this on Thursday 15 December with the ECIU "Back to the Future" exhibition and various festivities and meetings on UT campus, Enschede.
Back to the future
To celebrate the 25th anniversary, an exhibition, virtual as well as physical, was created. It shows some past and present highlights and casts a glance at the future. Visitors will see how the consortium developed over the years and the items presented are interactive. For example, test your ECIU knowledge with a real quiz, check videos with student stories and teacher experiences, watch the animation on challenge-based learning or read about the latest educational developments such as micro-credentials and flexible learning pathways and what ECIU's future plans are.
'The exhibition makes tangible what the consortium has been doing in recent years,' says project manager and Institutional Coordinator, Rianne Kaptijn. 'As ECIU partner universities, we find each other in areas such as regional development, joint study programmes, student and staff exchange and educational innovation. Topics that are quite difficult to capture in images. And that is precisely what makes this exhibition so special. With videos, animations, quizzes, photos, position papers and our magazines, we can show all the developments in an very attractive way.'
The Lodz University of Technology also prepared a movie focusing on ECIU future. We call it "ECIUman. Origins." We invite you to watch this funny video presenting the opportunities for learners at the consortium. The resemblance to fictional characters is not coincidental!
The exhibition can be visited in the Waaier on Thursday 15 December from 16:00 - 18:00.
