grand
societal challenges
Hello, this is the world calling for
new ways of learning
Many societal challenges cannot be approached from a single disciplinary perspective. Climate change, sustainability, demographic change, and welfare are examples of complex challenges shaped by conflicting needs and multiple perspectives.
At the same time, higher education is still often organised around disciplines working separately from one another.
The Nordic Experts in Teams Network is built on the idea that societal challenges require new ways of learning and collaborating across disciplines, institutions, and sectors.
Within the network, societal challenges become a shared context for learning and collaboration. Students work across disciplines on real-life challenges in collaboration with external partners and municipalities.
By contributing as disciplinary experts in collaborative processes, the students experience how their knowledge gains value through interaction with others and through engagement with society beyond the classroom.
Experts in Teams unites education and practice and focus on learning the collaborative competencies needed to work in complex professional environments and to create real societal change.
