2018 Deans’ Convention
For Engineering Deans, Directors, Department Heads and Deputy Rectors.
27-29 May 2018 – 60 participants from 19 countries gathered for our 2018 ECED-ULD. This meeting was organised in cooperation with CESAER and NTNU in Trondheim and it was structured into three sessions, that reflect current hot topics in faculty management. Two sessions were dedicated to digitalisation and one to diversity. The format was similar as in previous years having youtube videos on the topics ahead of the conference and using those as a base for the discussion. We would like to thank to our keynote speakers, moderators, youtubers – see below and especially the organisers: Mads Nygård, Jorunn Søraas Sommervold, Kjell Tore Næsgaard and Roger Midtstraum. See the photos from the event.
