Building Bridges: ChallengeEU Joins Summer University at ATU Sligo

Three women stand in front of a large fish-shaped sculpture on the campus of ATU Sligo in Ireland. The word “WELCOME” is displayed in large white letters, and a modern glass building is visible in the background.

During the Summer University, an interdisciplinary Blended Intensive Programme (BiP) on the theme “Sustainable Future” was organised by MIUN and ATU Sligo (Ireland), together with three other European universities. Caroline Hanras from ECAM LaSalle was invited by Mid Sweden University (MIUN) to join colleagues in Ireland and job-shadow the organisation of the BiP, which has been running for over 10 years as part of the Summer University cooperation among the five universities. The visit also offered a great opportunity to exchange experiences with another European University Alliance – EU GREEN, of which ATU Sligo is a member. “Grateful to MIUN and ATU Sligo for the invitation and hospitality and exchanging perspectives on short-term mobility design and comparing approaches with colleagues – and looking forward to bringing these insights back into ChallengeEU future short term mobilities” – says Caroline Hanras.
