Samuel: After teaching in Ghana for more than a decade, I felt I had seen and felt them all. But, my experience in the Professional Teacher Education (PTE) program at TAMK taught me that great teachers have to constantly evolve. During my pedagogical studies in Finland I lived in Germany and took part in the practical teaching sessions at the famous Proakatemia of TAMK. As a teacher in Austria, I am grateful for this unique experience in crossing borders and it has changed my life as a teacher.
Glasgow and the EAIE Conference Glasgow hosted the largest conference and exhibition in our history to date, attracting more than 7,300 participants from over 107 countries. This milestone set the stage for a truly unforgettable event. This year’s event truly embodied the theme “The Rhythm of Revolution”, and the sense of community was unprecedented. Colleagues from different roles, nationalities and career stages examined the state of the world from every angle, bringing their own experiences and perspectives to the discussion to help build a better future. Together, we challenged established practices, forged new partnerships and embraced opportunities with courage and care. This was closing keynote speaker Lewis Iwu’s summary of the conference week in Glasgow, Scotland.

Higher education teaching and guidance staff, together with a broad group of experts, encounter many different colleagues, students and stakeholder representatives in their daily work. In every situation, participants bring with them their own selves, experiences and preconceptions. We worked with these themes at The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) in spring 2026.
On 22 September 2026, the UNIICo-create project hosted another UNIICo-create Café, a virtual dialogue space where educators and industry partners come together to discuss topics related to innovation, entrepreneurship, and university-industry collaboration.
