Fair exams in a mass university: can technology get us out of trouble?

For a detailed description of the subject and the planned program, please refer to the EF 2020 website.

Unfortunately, in the present situation we are forced to postpone this activity to 2021.

The new date is Thursday 9 December 2021.

However, on Thursday December 3, 2020 from 1 to 2.30 pm, we organised a new type of activity, the "Lunchtime Ethical Forum", a shorter discussion on an ethical-social subject.

The topic of this first edition is "The pandemic-driven digital university: temporary nightmare or seed for better higher education?".

Due to the circumstances, this activity was organized completely online.
