Abstract: “Industry 4.0: Challenges and opportunities for Higher Education and labour market” We are currently preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist, using technologies that haven't been invented, in order to solve problems, we don't even know are problems yet.” This famous insight of former U.S. Secretary of Education, Richard Riley, that was delivered already in 2014, about the state of education, is a good “scene setter” of the times we live in. The time in which ripple effects of innovation in the industry with support of technologies are transforming our everyday lives, the so-called world’s 4th industrial revolution or I4.0. Thus, what impact the I4.0 is having, with in mind even stronger implications in the future, at our education and labour market? Are we going to educate followers or change makers? What are the measures and policies that European Union is endorsing? What are the best practices already in place and what can we do to support their “spill-over” effect at respective national levels? Page 2 of 13 UNICA Rectors Seminar "Digitalization and Education. Can universities keep up with Industry 4.0?“ Stefaan HERMANS (Keynote speaker) Director of Policy Strategy and Evaluation, Directorate - General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture, European Commission Stefaan HERMANS is Director of Policy Strategy and Evaluation in the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture at the European Commission. He was Head of Cabinet of the Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs, Skills and Labour Mobility Marianne Thyssen in the Juncker Commission. Previous posts include Head of the ‘Universities and Researchers’, ‘Skills’, and ‘Reflective Societies’ Units in DG Research and Innovation, and Secretary of the Employment Committee of the European Union. He also lectures on EU Affairs at the KU Leuven. Abstract: “Towards a European Education Area by 2025” The rapid technological change in the world around us will have a profound effect on European societies and universities. It will change both how we deliver education and what education can bring to the societies. Despite these challenges, Europe is still falling short in mobilising its human capacities to address its digital skills gap. The universities have a key role in moving from the status quo, but success will depend on working together, both inside local communities and across borders. Efforts must likewise be strongly supported by the governments and by the European Union. The upcoming European Universities initiative and the education and training cooperation framework will form key elements of these responses. The speech will address how we can work together to make sure that Europe and its universities can make the most of what the future holds in stock, and how the European Union can help. SESSION 1.

  • The History of the European Monetary Union and Useful for Opening up New Horizons
    The financial and economic crisis that hit Europe in 2009 brought out the precariousness of the monetary union, accentuating the economic disequilibrium among European nations and strengthening Euro-skepticism. The History of the European The crisis was the catalyst for long-standing and unresolved problems: the creation of a singly monetary area with intergovernmental control, the Monetary Union final act in the construction of a Europe economically united but without a government and a state; the consequent discrepancy between forming a consensus that remains in large part national and the political dynamics in Comparing Strategies amidst Prospects Europe; the sustainability of a monetary union in the absence of an economic- for Integration and National Resistance social union, which presents again the long-standing debate between “monetarist” countries and “economist” countries.

  • Charlemagne and Europe
    Journal of the British Academy, 2, 125–152. DOI 10.5871/jba/002.125 Posted 3 December 2014. © The British Academy 2014 Charlemagne and Europe Raleigh Lecture on History read 12 November 2013 JINTY NELSON Fellow of the Academy Abstract: This paper, ‘Charlemagne and Europe’, is a revised and expanded form of the lecture I read on 12 November 2013. I begin by asking what Europe has meant to medieval historians in recent times, focusing on some answers given in the 1990s and around the year 2000, and reflecting on the different ways Charlemagne is being com- memorated in different parts of Europe now, 1,200 years after his death. I then re- examine Charlemagne through evidence from his own time, as a ruler of a recognisably European empire, and, in the light of recent research and new approaches, I recon- sider his record as a political figure. A brief survey of his posthumous reputation as man and myth in the middle ages, and after, leads into a closer look at the roles assigned to him in post-war rhetoric. Finally I ask whether Charlemagne has, or might have, anything to offer Europeans today. Keywords: Charlemagne, Europe, empire, commemoration, myth To be invited to give the Raleigh Lecture is, as it has been since it was endowed almost a century ago, a tremendous honour. It also presents a new challenge, for the British Academy is changing with the times, and today’s Raleigh Lecturer is now invited to connect the Academy with a broad public. The occasion has become part of the Academy’s opening-wide of its doors.

Aim The EUSALP Strategy brings together seven countries, of which five are EU Member States (Austria, France, Ger- many, Italy and Slovenia) and two are EFTA (European Free Trade Association) countries (Liechtenstein and Swit- zerland). From a subnational perspective, EUSALP is a platform for cooperation for 48 regions. EUSALP is imple- mented by nine EUSALP Action Groups (AG), which organise their operations thematically along the four key objectives of the macro-regional strategy. The EUSALP Action Plan outlines the four objectives and the nine ac- tions of cooperation. Within Objective 2 "Mobility and Connectivity" of the EUSALP Action Plan, Action Group 4 is to promote inter- modality and interoperability in passenger and freight transport. Action Group 4 offers a platform to identify, coordinate, orchestrate and potentially harmonise the activities of Alpine regions and countries. The aim is the development of a sustainable transport and mobility system within and across the Alps. AG4’s mission is to build a common understanding of transport policy and mobility, to define common objectives and to launch specific activities and projects.
