“If we advocate for the parity of esteem, we also need to advocate for the reform of the Academic Careers Assessment (…) towards a more balanced approach to how the work and achievements of academics are supported, evaluated, acknowledged, rewarded” @josepmgarrell.bsky.social #EUALearnTeach
My highlight of the day 🔎: a private viewing of the Great Book of Ireland @ucclibrary.bsky.social for #EUALearnTeach Forum participants. This is Samuel Beckett's page. Probably his last handwritten piece, as he passed away two weeks after writing it.
Really interesting talk with Manel Jimenez Morales @uocuniversitat.bsky.social #EUALearnTeach Inspired by the work of French sculptor César, he analyses #learning in the future through 6 dimensions, including welding. "What matters is not the tool, it is how the tool connects with knowledge." 🛠💻
"We have to uncompromisingly defend the freedom of science", says Bestrix Busse #EUALearnTeach #pasmieux
At #EUALearnTeach Forum @ucc.ie @joh2024.bsky.social and Beatrix Busse (U. Cologne) both kick-start insisting on the intrinsic connection between #research and #education.
European University Association (EUA)@eua.eu · 2y ago"This is a truly international gathering, but the further the distance you travel, the warmest the welcome. We need again the voice of educators, the voice of facts, to be heard." @joh2024.bsky.social , @ucc.ie President #EUALearnTeach
