Projektteilnehmer
Sechs öffentliche Universitäten in europäischen Städten, die im äußersten Westen (Lissabon) und im Osten (Novi Sad), im Süden (Pisa) und im Norden (Hamburg, Tallinn) sowie in der Zentralregion (Salzburg) der EU liegen, konsolidieren ihre bestehenden Partnerschaften, um sich den Herausforderungen und Chancen der COVID- und Post-COVID-Phasen zu stellen, vereint durch den Anspruch, innovative, inklusive sowie vernetzte Möglichkeiten für Lernende aller Altersgruppen in einem internationalen Kontext zu schaffen.
In der Regel sind wir lebendige und vitale Präsenzuniversitäten. Mit insgesamt mehr als 220.000 Studierenden und 26.000 Mitarbeiter*innen sind wir nicht nur wichtige Zentren der Hochschulbildung, sondern auch wichtige Einrichtungen für Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Forschung. Wir sind Orte der Innovation und der Internationalisierung, die für das lokale, regionale und nationale Umfeld von besonderem Wert sind. Mit ENLIVEN wollen wir gemeinsam Innovationen schaffen und digitales Lernen und Lehren mit Leben füllen.

Universität Salzburg
Im Jahr 1622 eröffnete Fürsterzbischof Paris Lodron offiziell die Universität von Salzburg. Sie wurde von einer Konföderation von 33 Benediktinerabteien bis zu ihrer Auflösung im Jahr 1810 unterhalten. Seit ihrer Wiedererrichtung als öffentliche Universität im Jahr 1962 hat sich die Paris-Lodron-Universität Salzburg (PLUS) zu einer modernen, lebendigen Universität entwickelt. Teils im alten Stadtzentrum, teils auf dem modernen Campus an der Salzach gelegen, spielt die Universität eine wichtige Rolle im kulturellen und wirtschaftlichen Leben Salzburgs. Sie hat den Vorteil, eine Universität im menschlichen Maßstab zu sein und dient als Treffpunkt für Lehrende, Studierende, Wissenschaft und Öffentlichkeit. Derzeit sind knapp 20.000 Studierende an der Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg inskribiert. Von diesen Studierenden kommen rund 33% aus dem Ausland, entweder im Rahmen eines Mobilitätsprogramms oder im Selbststudium.
Die Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg besteht aus sechs Fakultäten (Fakultät für Digitale und Analytische Wissenschaften, Gesellschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, Katholisch-Theologische Fakultät, Kulturwissenschaftliche Fakultät, Natur- und Lebenswissenschaftliche Fakultät, Rechts- und Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät). Derzeit gibt es drei Schwerpunktbereiche, die sowohl in der Forschung als auch in der Lehre ein strategisches Profil aufweisen, indem sie in ihren Bereichen Pionierarbeit leisten und übergreifende Stärken und Kompetenzen zu einer größeren Einheit verbinden. Diese sind: Allergy Cancer BioNano Research Centre, Salzburg Centre of European Union Studies (SCEUS), Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience.
University of Novi Sad
University of Novi Sad (UNS) set a new strategic goal to become more visible in the international research arena and recognized as excellent University. As a starting point in reaching this goal, It is very active in the international collaboration field participating in both educational and research projects (ERASMUS +, HORIZON 2020, EUREKA, COST, INTERREG, etc) and is considered to be the top leader both in the country and the region, where most of these projects were aiming at restructuring and reforming higher education processes, structures and programs.
Many projects implemented were referring to creation of a model for virtual learning environment and reinforcing digitalisation in the process of teaching and learning enabling more flexibility and opportunities both for students and teachers, as well as equipping young researchers with skills required for joint research initiatives. One of the brightest examples of projects that have largely contributed to the University of Novi Sad overcoming the crisis in education process caused by the COVID 19 pandemic as easily as possible is the MILETUS project, which aimed to strengthen the students’ mobility capacity building at HEIs while improving the employment opportunities of graduates and enhancing the quality of PhD students’ research and provided project-based learning (PBL) programmes in which students can gain knowledge and skills by working on the joint project.
A main result of the project was the collaboration platform which was giving students opportunity to experience virtual and blended mobility runs covering courses in a virtual digital environment. Nowadays SOVA platform is used as a main tool at the University of Novi Sad providing courses for all the faculties of the University for ongoing on-line education process.
