The new Competence Centre will create opportunities for continued education.\u201d The University intends to adopt a gender policy, doing its share to improve the representation and status of women in science in high-level positions.<\/p><p>The rector recalled that on the Welcome Day one week ago, he told students: \u201cLook at your neighbours in class, think that the one to the left will one day be the CEO of a major company and the one to the right a first-class scientist. Imagine that perhaps the future Prime Minister and maybe a Nobel Prize winner sits next to you. I invited them to dream and to dream high.\u201d<\/p><p>The University\u2019s role is to give them the tools to realise them. One such tool is of course the recently opened Learning Centre, a modern chapel of knowledge offering a set of services and tools for learning, training and researching.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"higher-education-and-research-in-the-countrys-context\"\n    >\nHigher education and research in the country\u2019s context<\/h2>\n<p>In his talk, Finance Minister Pierre Gramegna expressed his view on public endowment: \u201cIn finance, each investment is a cost. But each euro spent on the University is indeed an investment, in our youth, our country and for our future generations.\u201d He continued: \u201cIn times when nationalism and protectionism puncture the fibre of our society, it is important to have places with a multicultural and multilingual culture.\u201d<\/p><p>He stressed the need to continue combining digitalisation in education or research with the financial world \u2013 creating talent and opportunities for FinTech, one of the most promising sectors for Luxembourg.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"rethink-higher-education-as-digitally-enhanced-blended-learning-process\"\n    >\nRethink Higher education as digitally enhanced blended learning process<\/h2>\n<p>Keynote speaker Prof. Marcus Specht of the Leiden University focused on the intersection of human learning and digital technologies. In traditional classes, a lot of learning is detached from context, but technologies can combine different environments and contexts. Prof. Specht gave the example of a trainee learning how to repair a part of a plane using a virtual helmet, with his tutor guiding his actions in a virtual setting. Such tools and contexts will continuously feed a student\u2019s motivation, which itself is strongly influenced by self-regulation. Learning technologies can show us a dashboard of our evolution in the learning process.<\/p><p>For a long time, the education sector was reluctant to jump onboard the digitalisation movement. Today, there is an opportunity to develop a new paradigm of human learning and problem solving, he concluded.<\/p><p>\u00a9 University of Luxembourg \/ Michel Brumat<\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Six lecturers and researchers were awarded the \u201cTeaching Awards\u201d during the annual Rentr\u00e9e acad\u00e9mique celebrations, while students of the future student delegation were offered funding to help them start their task.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"news-category":[3],"news-topic":[],"organisation":[226],"authorship":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
