Gert Guri Guillaume le Dieu de Ville Managing a European University is no easy feat, especially when it comes to balancing heavy administration with impactful initiatives. In this short session, we will share and discuss three critical lessons learned from our experience in managing the EuroTeQ Engineering University since 2020. 1. Moving beyond self-administration: Prioritize genuine activities that serve your target groups by allocating personnel resources effectively. 2. Clarity in focus and messaging: A clear direction and message are essential to building a successful alliance. 3. Personal resilience & change management: Resilience and a well-structured change management plan are key in driving long-term institutional change. Join us to explore these insights and more, as we delve into the intricacies of effective cross-border university management – within a trust-based partnership. Aet Michelson Helen Michielsen Carla Albrecht-Hengerer Dorthe Poulsen MacKay During this session, professors Marceau Coupechoux and Juan-Antonio Cordero Fuertes will present the EuroTeQ lecture on wireless networks and Internet of Things. The presentation includes the topics and structure of the course, the evaluation process, the different possible projects and the schedule. Some successful projects produced by former students of the course will be presented. Marceau Coupechoux In 2023, we organized “AIvolution” in the European Parliament, with the goal of presenting the key trends in automation and digitalisation, and of discussing their societal implications, their impact on democracy and the need for regulation in the EU. Speakers included academics from different European universities and the private sector who are driving the AI revolution or studying it closely. The EUDTP inter-disciplinary conference, to be held in 2025, aims at continuing this conversation, by bringing together researchers, professionals, scholars of different backgrounds, and policymakers, to enable exchanges about broad-impact digital technologies and policies in the EU. This includes information-related technologies (AI, quantum, nanotechnologies), digital infrastructures (Internet, IOT, cloud, mobile) and chip manufacturing (semiconductors), digital sovereignty issues (disinformation, data privacy), energy and materials considerations (energy production, stocking, distribution; raw materials mining).
