May 22-23th, 2025
On May 22-23, I am participating in the University Union Workshops, which provide an opportunity for the annual meeting of the members of this Association. The workshops are held under the theme: Innovations in education in study programs related to spatial management in the context of new demographic, digital, climate, and systematic challenges. The meeting was organized by the Department of Regional Economics and the Environment, University of Lodz with the involvement of the Association’s members.
The workshops were dedicated to issues related to a rapidly changing reality (e.g. artificial intelligence, climate change, demographic challenges, changes in systemic foundations of socio-economic and spatial planning), which are of significant importance for educational programs in the field of spatial management. These changes require a redefinition of the content and teaching methods. The aim of workshops is to exchange knowledge and experiences in this area within two groups:
- academics from over 20 universities affiliated with the University Union,
- students from scientific circles (and doctoral students) involved in programs related to spatial management across the country.
The workshops aim to develop recommendations for improving the teaching process and to identify directions for the development of professionals in the field of spatial management. An important aspect of the workshops is the comparison of the results development by academics with the solutions proposed by students, as well as the establishment of direct contracts and collaboration among participants.
