Earlier this year, the UT reviewed its membership to assess whether an extension was worthwhile. The network has proven to align well with the university’s goals and ambitions. Liv Hassinger, UT’s institutional coordinator for ECIU, is pleased: ‘I am glad the UT recognises the value of ECIU. In the coming years, we want to further expand our activities. That means looking at how we can integrate ECIU courses and principles such as challenge-based learning into existing programmes. More ECIU also means a greater need for support capacity.’
