Project Workshop (PWS) 1 at University Technology Malaysia (UTM), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Project Workshop (PWS) 1 at UTM Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 21-27 May 2023, brings together academic partners from Europe and Asia to discuss digital learning.

The event kicks off with arrivals and introductions, followed by a series of forums where European and Asian universities share their experiences with digital learning. Participants will engage in project preparations, develop training modules, and discuss quality assurance and sustainability.

The workshop also features sessions on digital transformation in education, leadership, and a visit to Cyberjaya and Putrajaya. Networking opportunities and collaborative discussions are integral parts of the program, aiming to enhance digital learning initiatives across partner institutions.
