The SPHERE launch event “Learning & Teaching in a post-covid context: the status quo” brought together NEO and HERE teams, marking a significant kick-off in the initiative. The event aimed to introduce participants to the SPHERE 2023 programme, outline the key policies and priorities of the European Commission, and facilitate an understanding of the new SPHERE framework and activities. Attendance included Higher Education Reform Experts (HERE) from a diverse group of stakeholders in the higher education community, fostering an environment for collaboration and the sharing of insights.
Throughout the seminar, participants engaged in discussions on the pressing topic of learning and teaching in a post-COVID context, highlighting recent trends in digital learning. Key highlights included expert presentations, interactive sessions, and opportunities for networking. The event also provided an opportunity to strengthen connections among HERE and NEO, laying the groundwork for future collaboration within the SPHERE initiative.
