"Green universities” conference
On 18th November 2015 Scholarship and Training Fund organized an international conference „Green universities” devoted to environment and climate change in the Development of Polish Higher Education Institutions projects. It was held in Warsaw, Novotel hotel.
It was an opportunity to discuss the role of HEIs in raising ecological awareness, to exchange ideas and experience. We focused on how the environmental awareness stimulates the development of HEIs, specifically the improvement of quality and attractiveness of education and training, strengthening competences of students, graduates and staff in the field of environment and climate change, as well as conformance to the needs of the economic sector and the labour market.
The conference was addressed to the sector of higher education in Poland. It gathered international experts, representatives of the Donor States, relevant ministries, project promoters, POs engaged in the implementation of the EEA and Norway Grants with focus on environment and education.
Participation in the conference was free of charge.
