Explore the landscape of digitalisation, internationalisation,
and sustainability within higher education. 

Welcome to the digital age

Fundamental skills

Higher education institutes are key players in providing the fundamental skills in the world we face in 2022. Therefore, we are calling upon the leaders, faculties, and support staff of higher education institutes across the globe: are we ready for this challenge?

NOVA contributes to three highly relevant themes in higher education: digitalisation, internationalisation and sustainability. We welcome you to explore the landscape of digital processes, virtual events, and sustainable solutions for the future.

TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES

Z

Digitalisation Essentials Workshop

Together with international colleagues, you will explore the landscape of digitalisation at your international office. In four weeks time, you will find yourself collaborating in the live sessions and work on concrete steps with the IT-staff at your own institution.

Virtual Events Workshop

Higher education has seen many of its events happen in the virtual space in the past two years. Currently, we are standing at a crossroads to decide where to move to next. We should ask ourselves: how do we use our events strategically? In three virtual live sessions, you will learn more about event strategy and what it takes to build engagement with your international partners.

More workshops to be developed…

We are always looking to further expand our training opportunities on digitalisation, internationalisation and sustainability of higher education. Keep an eye out for future workshops or get in touch with your ideas and suggestions!
