The University of Jyväskylä is organising a “FORTHEM Speed Dating” event on Thursday, 29 April at 3–5pm CET / 4–6 pm EET, in the fields of educational sciences and teacher education.

 

FORTHEM invites all university members to get involved in the Alliance activities. We encourage all teachers and researchers to find out what FORTHEM has to offer and to consider, for example, the following forms of cooperation:

  • Adding an international component to your classes by collaborating with groups in the other universities
  • Detecting possible areas for research collaboration
  • Developing joint Horizon 2020 projects
  • Developing shared tutored projects with colleagues for alliance students
  • Setting up guest lectureships within the FORTHEM network (Erasmus+ funding)
  • Organising and participating in joint staff weeks
  • Developing joint e-learning courses for our FORTHEM Digital Academy
  • Developing ideas for future joint & multiple degree programmes
