Her scientific contributions span molecular genetics\, inherited diseases\, cancer genomics\, translational biomedical research\, etc. \nMagaly Machenaud \nHer journey is a powerful illustration of how barriers to STEM education can be overcome through determination and opportunity. Originally from French Guiana\, she was forced to leave school at the age of 16 due to a shortage of places in local secondary schools. After initially working as a veterinary assistant\, she was given the opportunity to resume her education at 22 and obtained her science-focused baccalaureate in 2020. She went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Biology of Organisms and Ecosystems from Université Côte d’Azur in 2023\, followed by a Master’s degree in Sustainable Management of Environmental Resources and Risks from the University of Rouen Normandy in 2025\, specialising in environmental chemistry and contaminated land. She is now in the second year of her PhD at the Guiana Space Centre\, conducting research for the French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES) on contamination in cleanrooms used to prepare spacecraft. Her inspiring journey highlights not only the structural barriers that can prevent young people from accessing STEM education\, but also the importance of creating opportunities and alternative pathways for those determined to pursue a career in science. \nDaniel Miranda \nDaniel Miranda Prieto is a PhD student in Immunology at the University of Oviedo and a science communicator who has experience in outreach activities such as Pint of Science\, TEDx and school talks across different educational levels. \nProject Blurb: Do you want to understand what happens inside your body?

For example\, stereotyping involves categorising people into groups (based on their nationality or ethnicity for example) and making judgements about their societal norms\, status and culture. In many cases\, the impressions formed of people within these stereotypes are not based on facts but rather on oversimplified beliefs. \nWe will include group discussion\, video clips\, practical exercises\, share handouts and provide information on stereotypes. We will have three facilitators from France\, Romania and Ireland. Duration: 1 hour. \nBios\nKristin\nDr Kristin Brogan is a lecturer in German and Intercultural Communication since 1994 at ITT/MTU (Department of Social Sciences).

Well\, in a perfect world we wouldn’t need to but… \nMihaela Cojan Psychologist at TUIASI\, Romania and Monica Moisuc\, Equality\, Diversity and Inclusion Officer at MTU\, Ireland invite you all (staff and students) to an interactive webinar exploring how inclusive mindsets are built. \nBuilding on insights from the World Café workshop at the Ingenium Staff Academy in  Skövde\, this session will focus on lived experience rather than theory\, examining what happens inside us when we encounter difference\, conflict\, or exclusion\, and how self-awareness\, regulation\, and perspective taking can support more inclusive behaviours\, practices and leadership. \nIn our universities we often talk about inclusion as a value or a goal. In this webinar\, we want to slow things down and look at where inclusion actually begins. Inside us. We will explore what happens in moments of difference or conflict\, how our minds and bodies respond\, and how small shifts in awareness and regulation can support more inclusive leadership\, decisions\, and everyday interactions. This is not about having the perfect answers\, but about building the inner capacity to stay open\, curious\, and human. \nJoin us live\, on November 10 at 12:00 CET\, for this meaningful conversation!

This session compares how alliances approach joint curriculum development\, quality assurance and accreditation\, admissions\, student administration\, governance and financial sustainability\, and looks at the opportunities opened by the emerging European Degree framework. \n Key questions \n\nWhere do joint programmes most often get stuck between the initial academic concept and full implementation?\nWhich elements of design and delivery can be shared across an alliance\, and which need to remain institution-specific?\nWhat could the European Degree framework enable for programmes currently limited by national or institutional constraints?\nWhich barriers require action at national or European level\, and how can alliances address them collectively?\n\n Collaborative format \nParticipants map where joint programme development gets stuck and sort each barrier by who can solve it: alliances\, through better cooperation and shared procedures; universities\, through institutional change; or national and European authorities. The session closes with a short set of recommendations to make joint programmes easier to develop in the coming years. \n\n \n Add to calendar \n \n \n \n\n\n Google Calendar\n\n\n iCalendar\n\n\n Outlook 365\n\n\n Outlook Live\n\n\n\n Related Events\n\n\n \n \n\n \n Welcome and the first four years of INGENIUM \n\n\n November 25 @ 9:00 – 9:30 EET \n\n\n \n \n\n \n Opening panel: What has INGENIUM achieved?

Building on the experiences of other leading alliances in this area\, this session asks how educational innovation can move beyond individual projects and highly engaged educators to become part of mainstream teaching across the Alliance\, and how these instruments should evolve in the next phase. \nKey questions \n\nWhat makes an innovative teaching practice transferable beyond its original course\, discipline or group of educators?\nWhat support\, recognition and incentives do academics need to adopt and sustain new approaches?\nWhat should be coordinated at alliance level\, and where is institutional flexibility essential?\nHow can we tell when an innovation has become normal teaching practice rather than a project?\n\nCollaborative format \nFrom pilot to practice. Starting from a real teaching innovation\, groups identify the barriers\, enabling conditions and responsibilities needed to implement it at four levels. The results will inform an INGENIUM roadmap for scaling educational innovation. \n\nLevel 1 Educator\nLevel 2 Programme or faculty\n\nLevel 3 University\nLevel 4 Alliance\n\n\n\nAdd to calendar \n\n \n\nGoogle Calendar\niCalendar\nOutlook 365\nOutlook Live\n\nRelated Events\n\n\n \n\n\nWelcome and the first four years of INGENIUM \nNovember 25 @ 9:00 – 9:30 EET \n\n\n \n\nOpening panel: What has INGENIUM achieved?

This session looks at where shared capacity adds real value\, from permanent staffing and external funding to contracting\, digital infrastructure\, procurement\, intellectual property and long-term partnerships\, while preserving the autonomy of member universities. \nCentral question \nWhere can shared capacity add value without duplicating or undermining the member universities? \nKey questions \n\nWhich operational capacities would create the greatest added value if developed through an alliance legal entity?\nWhere could shared capacity reduce duplication\, and where could it create a parallel layer of bureaucracy?\nWhat governance and accountability mechanisms keep shared capacity aligned with institutional autonomy?\nHow can a legal entity help secure continuity\, resources and partnerships beyond successive EU-funded projects?\n\nCollaborative format \nParticipants review a set of functions an alliance might develop through its legal entity\, from a permanent team and shared digital platforms to fundraising and alliance-wide services\, and assess where shared capacity creates genuine added value and where it adds complexity. The session closes on one question: how much shared capacity is enough to make a legal entity meaningful? \n\n\nAdd to calendar \n\n \n\nGoogle Calendar\niCalendar\nOutlook 365\nOutlook Live\n\nRelated Events\n\n\n \n\n\nWelcome and the first four years of INGENIUM \nNovember 25 @ 9:00 – 9:30 EET \n\n\n \n\nOpening panel: What has INGENIUM achieved?

Its core idea is to create a space where students can experiment with different forms of academic communication\, exchange perspectives\, and reflect on how communication works in international and multicultural contexts. \nA central focus is on developing practical competencies: delivering interactive seminar presentations\, participating constructively in discussions\, tailoring communication to diverse audiences\, and giving and receiving feedback across cultural boundaries. Students also explore intercultural communication frameworks and apply them directly in international teams. \nBy blending online sessions with an intensive on‑site week in Karlsruhe\, the programme offers a dynamic learning environment that supports independent\, collaborative\, and inquiry‑based learning. Depending on the interests of the cohort\, outcomes may include short texts\, presentations\, posters\, digital contributions\, or joint reflection pieces—laying the groundwork for future international collaboration. \nHow you will learn\nLearning activities combine interactive workshops\, group projects\, discussions\, and guided self‑study\, creating a dynamic environment for experimenting with academic communication in an international context.

In this context\, there are ESG management tools\, the use of which by a company can guarantee that: the path that begins with the selection of the issues for which it will implement responsibility and sustainability actions\, and ends with the publication of a sustainability report\, will create shared value for the company itself and its stakeholders. \nMoreover\, EU rules require large companies and listed companies to publish regular reports on the social and environmental risks they face\, and on how their activities impact people and  the environment. \nThe Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) updates the rules concerning the social and environmental information that companies have to report. Companies subject to the CSRD will have to report according to European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). \nLearning Outcomes\n\nLO1. Explain the motivations\, frameworks\, and business strategies underpinning corporate responsibility and sustainable development in a global context\nLO2. Apply the ESG (Environment – Society – Governance) triptych and related management tools to analyse and develop sustainability strategies for companies\nLO3.

As health care increasingly shifts from institutions to people’s homes\, digital technologies and innovative solutions play a crucial role in ensuring accessibility\, safety\, and quality of care. \nThe programme focuses on digital competence and innovation in health care\, bringing together students from health and social care\, informatics\, engineering\, and related disciplines. Through interdisciplinary collaboration\, you will explore how digital technologies can support person‑centred integrated care and contribute to sustainable health‑care systems. The on-site week is hosted by the University of Skövde\, with the Skaraborg Health Technology Center (SHC) as a central learning environment. \nHow you will learn\nLearning takes place through a blend of virtual collaboration and an intensive on-site week in Sweden. Before and after the on-site week\, you will participate in three structured online meetings where learning objectives are introduced\, interdisciplinary groups are formed\, and innovations are evaluated. \nThe core of the programme is multidisciplinary\, small-group work using a modified Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach. Together with students from other disciplines and countries\, you will work on real health‑care challenges presented as cases or scenarios. Lectures and workshops provide theoretical grounding and practical tools related to digital health competence\, innovation\, and technology in care settings. \nDuring the on-site week\, experiential and simulation-based learning plays a key role. You will visit the Skaraborg Health Technology Center and take part in innovative simulations\, including experiencing ageing through an age suit in a digitally equipped\, highly accessible apartment. Site visits\, workshops\, and collaborative innovation activities culminate in student presentations and peer evaluation. \nCompetences you will develope\nBy participating in this BIP\, you will strengthen your digital health literacy and develop the ability to critically assess and apply digital technologies in health and social care contexts. You will gain experience in identifying problems in real-world health‑care settings and using innovation tools to design technology‑based solutions. \nThe programme emphasises interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teamwork\, helping you understand perspectives ranging from technology developers to end users of digital health solutions. You will also develop competences in international and intercultural collaboration\, critical thinking\, problem-solving\, and constructive peer feedback. These competences are highly relevant both for future studies and for professional roles in health care\, technology\, and innovation. \nLearning Outcomes\n\n \nAfter successful completion of the programme\, you will be able to: \n\nAssess your own digital health literacy and competence and identify areas for further development.\nReview existing digital technologies in health- and social care\, identify challenges\, and propose evidence-based and user-centred solutions.\nApply innovation tools and methods to address complex health‑care challenges using digital technology.\nCollaborate effectively in international and interdisciplinary teams across health and social care\, informatics\, and engineering.\nCritically evaluate digital health innovations and provide constructive feedback to peers.\n\nThese learning outcomes are assessed through individual assignments\, group innovation projects\, active participation in online and on-site activities\, student presentations\, and structured peer evaluation. \nBIP’s Programme\nVirtual component (online activities)\nStart date: January 21st   |   End date: after on-site week\, November 2026  \nSchedule / Contents:  \nOnline 1: January 21st\,  2027\, at 10.00-12 and 13-15 CET \n\nGive an overview of the BIP\,presentation of learning objectives and course implementation.\n \n \n\n\n\nPresentation of students andteachers\n \n \n\n\n\nInformation of the first assessment\nconsisting of a presentation of their own field (Health and social care\,\nInformatics\, Engineering) and its relation to digital technology in health and\nsocial care.

It forms part of a series of annual INGENIUM Inclusion BIPs\, hosted in rotation by partner universities\, with each edition taking up a different dimension of inclusion beyond the formal curriculum. \nThe programme treats inclusion as a shared responsibility and looks at its barriers collectively\, building understanding\, empathy and a stronger sense of belonging within the Alliance. Discussion ranges across diversity-related challenges\, emotional safety\, psychological well-being and the collaborative practices that hold inclusive campus communities together. This edition\, hosted by the University of Oviedo\, centres on intercultural communication: participants become aware of their own culture and that of others\, sharpen their intercultural sensitivity\, and learn to communicate effectively in cross-cultural settings such as international teams. \nHow you will learn \nTeaching follows a problem-based approach in which the lecturer sets a task and acts as facilitator while participants investigate it in groups. Each group presents its findings\, and the lecturer then draws out the underlying theory. The weight falls on group work and on participants learning from one another by sharing their own experience and knowledge. The intercultural communication sessions are interactive and practical throughout. \nCompetences you will develop \n\nEquality\, Diversity and Inclusion across higher education institutions\nIntercultural competence: curiosity\, empathy\, communication and an understanding of difference\nCollaboration across disciplines\, roles (students\, administrative staff\, academics) and cultures\nRecognising and sharing good practice to address inclusion and intercultural barriers within INGENIUM\n\nLearning Outcomes \nAfter successful completion of the BIP\, participants will be able to: \n\nLO1.
