Universities of Applied Sciences #UAS: Strengthening Europe’s Competitiveness 💪 This was the topic of the UAS Rectors' Conference Ammattikorkeakoulujen rehtorineuvosto Arene ry and the Confederation of Unions for Professional and Managerial Staff in Finland Akava evening reception, which we had a pleasure to host last Thursday. A crucial theme to address at this critical juncture for the EU 💡   As the EU enters a new legislative term, enhancing #competitiveness has become a top priority. Universities of Applied Sciences are pivotal in this effort, driving #innovation and equipping the workforce with advanced #skills in critical sectors.   During the evening, we heard insightful perspectives from Niina Nurkkala, Senior Specialist, Research & Innovation at the Permanent Representation of Finland to the EU, Riitta Konkola, Riitta Konkola, Chair of the UAS Rectors' Conference Arene and President, CEO of Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, Maria Löfgren, President of Akava, and Heidi Fagerholm, Chair of UAS4EUROPE.   Applied research is crucial to transforming knowledge into tangible solutions, directly benefiting European industry and society. Ensuring #appliedresearch features strongly on the EU R&I agenda alongside fundamental research is essential for enhancing Europe’s competitive edge globally. 🌍

Yesterday I was speaker at #EURASHE33 Conference about student involvement in the Alliances and the future and the Alliances. 2 of hot topics at the moment, in the European higher education discussions. 🗣️ Of course, our main and more pressing demand is a democratic student participation in all Alliances. We are still far from this. ESU is requiring guidelines from the Commission, but the effort also has to come from the HEIs themselves. This is why our participation in this kind of event are important: to raise awareness directly towards some of the stakeholders that can make a difference. 🙋 A fully-fledged, meaningful role within the governance of the Alliances is also key for the students representation. Students representative have to be fully integrated in the decision-making process of the Alliances, otherwise it's nothing more than a Rector's club conference. You would not imagine the governance of your HEI without students rep: this is the same thing, but at European level. 💯 Now that the oldest Alliances entered their final phase and the new ones taking inspiration from them, the question of reaching out to the whole student population became more and more core. How the Alliance could be considered sustainable if they keep reaching the same student population? The Alliances should have the high ambition of being for all the students. This lead us to how ensure a future to the initiative. As exciting it is to look into the future, it is first important to acknowledge the state of the art and how we could move with what we have and what is expected to arrive. I focused on 2 points: 📝 The first one is the role of the legal status for the Alliances. At the moment Alliances are a project-based initiative. At the end of the contract, how could they ensure their own future? There are national possibilities and European options. But the results of the pilot projects all state the same: this is not enough, there is a need for more! This brings then the question of how it would be possible regarding the current state of the Treaties. 💶 Finally, the most important key component: the need for sustainable european funding. The Commission is working on a financial plan, this is a good message. Now the plan needs to fit the ambitions of the initiative! We are happy, in ESU, to be involved in the proposal from Campus France to work on how member states can be involved in the future of the funding. ESU remains firm on our position: an EU initiative should be fund by the EU. This is also the best way to ensure that all the Alliances received an equitable funding, and that they are not dependent on the countries involved in the Alliances. Luck is not a convincing tool. As a conclusion, I would remind this idea coming from Pedro Teixeira keynote: how long the momentum surrounding the Alliances will last? How can we make sure it will last? These should overall focus.

Today, the teams from EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) are poised to deliver their pitches to the esteemed jury at the #EuroTeQathon final event at École Polytechnique in Paris.   Over the past few days, these qualifying teams have been hard at work, addressing critical challenges with innovation and determination. One team has focused on empowering people with cognitive impairments to travel independently. By enhancing their confidence and reducing social isolation, they're making a tangible impact on lives. The second team has worked on a project to help sharpen student focus by tackling the pervasive issue of phone distractions during lectures. Their ingenious approach discourages phone use, leading to improved student engagement and focus.   We eagerly await the pitches not only from #EPFL but also from all the other qualifying teams. Regardless of who takes home the top honors today, we firmly believe that every student involved is a winner.   Why? Because they've harnessed creativity, expertise, and teamwork to develop solutions that enhance connections and contribute to a better world.   Kudos to all the #Collider teams representing their university at the EuroTeQathon - your impact resonates far beyond the competition!   👉 https://lnkd.in/eVGKTeWh #EuroTeQathon #Innovation #Collaboration #SustainableFutures #EuroTeQ #TeQforEurope #EngineeredbyEuroTeQ #EngineeringEducation #EuroTeQCollider #challengebasedlearning EuroTeQ Engineering University

Was sponsoring girls a good decision? This year, Zoomerang also sponsored the Armenian team to go to the European Girls' Olympiad in Informatics. When I was in school I loved Olympiads in Informatics. The competition, the environment, and the smart people I met there kept me hooked. Going to the international olympiads opened my eyes and helped me exit the Armenian bubble. A key moment happened when I met a boy during one of these events who had made his own game. He told me, "Playing the simple games I make myself is more fun than playing fancy games everyone else can play." This idea really got me, and I wanted to try making my own game. When I got home, I made my first game. It was a crappy volleyball game with minimal functionality. It was so poorly written that my PC was shutting down after 5 mins of playing. Even so, making and playing it felt amazing. It was the first time I felt what it's like to build something really useful. I didn't win any prizes that year. But I came home with something more valuable: a clear idea of what I wanted to do in the future. So, was it worth sponsoring the trip to these olympiads? Definitely. Backing these trips isn't just about winning – it's about new ideas, thinking globally, and supporting the future of Armenia. What do you think about it? Would you become a sponsor? Let's talk about it in the comments! #zoomerang
