  • Combinatorial Game., Turning GPT to our advantage (duration 1h)
    This session aims to tackle the need for novel perspectives in designing an innovative, contemporary master’s degree programme. Participants will be engaged in a combinatorial game which by combining diverse knowledge and expertise, will create imaginative educational scenarios on which to build a Joint Programme. This will be the starting point to discuss possible future collaborations among participants.

  • Turning GPT to our advantage

12:00 - 13:00 - Lunch

13:00 - 14:45 - Matchpoint! Building a JP stage 1
Participants will begin to create the first building blocks of possible Joint Programmes by discovering points of connection (match points) with others in the group. This work will result in an initial network of connections which will evolve as the course progresses.

14:45 – 15:00 - Coffee

15:00 - 16:00 - Matchpoint! Building a JP stage 1 continued
