UNICA EduLAB 2019
The UNICA EduLAB meeting 2019 “Bologna in the Digital age” took place in Vienna on 5-6 December 2019 and was kindly hosted by the University of Vienna and the FH Campus Wien University of Applied Sciences.
The meeting gathered 38 participants from 13 HE institutions.
The 2019 meeting was also the 20th UNICA EduLAB meeting: the UNICA Bologna Lab is an initiative initiated in 2004 by Prof. Arthur Mettinger (Vice Rector Academic Affairs, FH Campus Wien University of Applied Sciences), when he was a Vice-Rector at the University of Vienna and the President of UNICA. The Bologna Lab reshaped its activities in 2014 in the light of the changing European Higher Education landscape and continued its activities in the redesigned UNICA EduLAB. We are very grateful to both hosting universities which gave us the opportunity to connect this 20th anniversary to the birth of the initiative.
