SHORT ADVANCED PROGRAMME
Aspects of Interregional Development – Digital 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 Digital Challenge is jointly organised by the IPLeiria, and the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences (FHV).
This programme addresses digital challenges and opportunities that delve into key aspects of interregional development and gain valuable insights into how digital goods and services are both a catalyst and a disruptor.
With this learning experience, you will have the opportunity to be part of an interdisciplinary international group that will propose novel, potentially disruptive, sustainable solutions where digital aligns with values of equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Within the framework of the UN SDGs, it’s a chance to explore opportunities to shape a better, more harmonious digital interregional environment for generations to come.
The Student Week will allow all RUN-EU students to participate in another three SAP Challenges on ‘Aspects of Interregional Development’:
- Cooperation and Inclusiveness Challenge
- Cultural Challenge
- Sustainable Growth and Competitiveness Challenge
