The Sixth ACE²-EU Academic Networking Event “ACEploration” Took Place in Poland
From 13 to 14 January, the academic networking event “ACEploration” of the European Universities Alliance ACE²-EU was held at Gdański Uniwersytet Medyczny in Poland. The event was also attended by representatives of the Latvian Academy of Culture (LAC) – lecturer Dita Pfeifere and Associate Professor Kristīne Freiberga.
During two days of intensive collaboration with Alliance colleagues, participants developed ideas for new interdisciplinary short-cycle study programmes under the overarching theme “Brain, Body & Learning – Shaping Future-Ready Education in Health Sciences”, with a particular focus on future-oriented educational approaches in the field of health sciences.
Within the framework of the event, support was given to the LAC proposal to develop a short-cycle study programme entitled “Accessibility to Culture and Tourism: An Opportunity to Improve Quality of Life for People with Disabilities.” The programme will be implemented in cooperation with partners from Universidad Francisco de Vitoria and Lietuvos inžinerijos kolegija.
In addition, an agreement was reached to collaborate on the implementation of two further interdisciplinary short-cycle study programmes together with these partner institutions. Both programmes are planned for implementation in the spring semester of 2027, with one led by the Lithuanian partners and the other by the Spanish partners.
