Topics to be discussed:
Crossing academic borders: how to bring together academic and professional demands?
Crossing geographical borders: how to stimulate the mobility of students (higher and mid-career education)?
Crossing ideological borders: how to contribute to depolarization within society and on a global level?
Crossing social borders: how to represent all groups in the society?
Crossing competence borders: how to teach hybrid competences?
Crossing educational borders: how to adapt curricula to changing professional realities?
Crossing professional borders: how to respond to non-professional journalism?
