JEDI (Joint European Degree Label in engineering) comes to an end after a year of collaboration between the EELISA, ENHANCE, and EUt+ alliances. To celebrate this milestone, UPM, the project coordinator, is organizing a conference on the afternoon of March 14th and the morning of March 15th at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería y Diseño Industrial (ETSIDI). During these sessions, the results of JEDI will be presented, along with discussions on the feasibility of this initiative, which aims to explore and revise criteria for the application of creating a harmonized European label in joint degrees.
Representatives from the three alliances involved in JEDI, as well as members of the European Commission and external stakeholders, will participate in the event to share the challenges associated with developing procedures to create the label in the field of engineering. The focus will be on the academic strategy for its implementation and long-term sustainability in Europe.
The event will take place in a hybrid format, ensuring virtual connection for all sessions. The connection link will be sent to registered attendees once registration is completed.
If anyone is interested in participating in the on-site event in Madrid, we recommend you to add a comment in the registration form. We will notify you of the availability as soon as possible.
Registration to attend is available here.
