4TU.CEE has been asked by the UvA Institute of Interdisciplinary studies to host the National Interdisciplinary Education Conference in 2018. During the well-received first 'National Interdisciplinary Education Conference' that took place in February 2017, Dutch and Belgian Institutes of higher education shared inspiring examples and experiences with participants on interdisciplinary learning and teaching. A welcome initiative since interdisciplinary education has yet to become part of the mainstream in higher education.
Interdisciplinary education
4TU.CEE is pleased to organise the second edition of the NIE Conference. It strongly supports interdisciplinary education initiatives, by directly supporting teachers, and via research projects, running from a review of the literature to mapping and evaluating interventions in specific courses. As such, interdisciplinary (engineering) education is high on the agenda of each of the 4 partnering institutes in 4TU.CEE.
The conference will be held at Eindhoven University of Technology in late January or early February. More detailed information will follow shortly.
