Implementing Education 4.0 in Higher Education: lessons learned from Computer Science.

Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham - Formerly Jurys Inn

How are universities getting ready for Industry 4.0? What is Education 4.0? Are you interested in how to implement innovative pedagogies in Computer Science? We are pleased to invite you to a free engagement session where we will share and discuss our lived experiences of exploring what Industry 4.0 might mean for universities in Europe. Education 4.0 is related to the view that the current Industry 4.0 is becoming more and more automated, using modern smart technology and the Internet of Things (IoT). In particular we explored how universities could prepare for Education 4.0. At present a range of eight Joint Creative Classrooms (for example Machine Learning School; Robotics: Embedded Software Development) have been implemented across 16 computer science programs in Europe as part of the Teach4EDU project (<a href="https://teach4edu4-project.eu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://teach4edu4-project.eu/</a>). This free event is aimed at educators, academics, learning designers, policy makers, and managers who are interested in learning about how Education 4.0 might impact your practice.The session has two different formats face to face at Jurys Inn Birmingham on the 31st of January 2023 and online on Thursday the 2nd of February 2023. If you decide to join us face-to-face coffee and tea will be served during the day and lunch will be provided. As well this for the first 20 participants we can cover travel expenses up to £45*.
