SHORT ADVANCED PROGRAMME
Aspects of Interregional Development – Cooperation and Inclusiveness Challenge
25 September 2023
In the 2023 Student Week, hosted by the Polytechnic University of Leiria (IPLeiria), there will be four Short Advanced Programme Challenges on ‘Aspects of Interregional Development’.
The Cooperation and Inclusiveness Challenge is jointly organised by the IPLeiria, and the University of Győr – Széchenyi István University (SZE).
This programme is framed by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN and addresses cooperation and inclusiveness challenges and opportunities that deepen into key aspects of interregional development.
With this learning experience, you will have the opportunity to be part of an interdisciplinary international group that will understand the essence of the European spirit and the principles that underpin cooperation within the European Union. Participants will explore policies, initiatives, and inclusive cross-border collaborations that reflect Europe’s commitment to educational advancement and societal well-being.
This challenge encourages active engagement through lectures, discussions, group work, and the exploration of real-world case studies. It’s a chance to explore cooperation solutions to foster a brighter future for Europe and its diverse, interconnected communities.
The Student Week will allow all RUN-EU students to participate in another three SAP Challenges on ‘Aspects of Interregional Development’ as well:
