Innovative Doctoral Courses for Sustainability
|
| |
The pandemic has forced a more integrated use of technology in higher education. IAU has partnered with KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, University of Bergen, Norway, NORDUnet, Denmark, and Nordic Insight, Norway, for a project entitled Innovative Doctoral Courses for Sustainability (IDOCOS). It seeks to leverage this opportunity by proposing an innovative approach to co-creation and sharing of doctoral courses among universities across the world. All higher education institutions offering doctoral education are therefore invited to respond to a short consultation to inform the development of relevant deliverables.
