Europe is currently undergoing a profound digital transformation, driven by the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and robots. This is affecting the changing skills needs of current and future citizens. The future requires the development of not only basic digital skills, but also more advanced ones that allow flexible adaptation to the changes taking place. Improving the digital skills of EU citizens beyond the basic level is therefore crucial.

PRIDE Network – Association for Professionals in Doctoral Education

The association was founded in 2017 and currently has 34 organizational members and 16 individual members from 20 different countries. The Doctoral School at GUT became the first member of the organization from Poland.

This time the meeting will begin with the broadcast of a 30-minute film telling the story of an experiment to combine the Japanese approach to production with the American labor model, which began in 1984 in Fremont, California. New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. (NUMMI) is a company founded by General Motors and Toyota. The viewing of the film will be followed by a short lecture and discussion with Isao Yoshino, a long-time Toyota manager, eyewitness and active manager in the NUMMI experiment. 

The meeting will be held in English. 

As part of the meeting, the Seniors had the opportunity to talk to Ewa Mazurek-Krasodomska, Ph.D., about the issues of the security of financial transactions and cyber-security, and Anita Richert-Kaźmierska, Ph.D., about how to recognize methods of influencing customers as part of so-called visual merchandising.

After the lectures, the Seniors visited the most interesting places on the Gdańsk Tech Campus with Mr Dariusz Kortas, a guide from the History Section.

The university is one of the leading higher education institutions in its region. It offers study programs in technical, natural, and computer sciences, as well as in business and administration. Northern Technical University is known for its high-quality education and commitment to the scientific and technological development of Iraq. During the visit, discussions were held regarding academic exchange of staff and students, cooperation within MBA programs, and dual degree arrangements.

Unlike traditional study programs, which can last for several years, micro-credentials are designed to be shorter and more focused. They provide students with the opportunity to learn from a chosen field in a more flexible way. They can also be arranged into collections and certification paths to build a wider set of skills, and even used as a pathway to higher education.
