Last week Aldert Kamp, Co-director of the CDIO, attended the national conference “CDIO Global Initiative in the Russian Educational System” in Surgut. He was invited in his role of CDIO Co-director.

- The conference changed my mind about what progression is made in the reforms at Russian engineering universities. The overall impression is much more positive than I had expected. Universities are doing interesting reforms with full devotion, says Aldert. 

It is our pleasure to inform you that the International CDIO Council has accepted 3 new members of the CDIO Initiative in Asia. A total of five Asian schools have now been accepted as CDIO members in the first months of 2017.

1. Inje University - Korea

About the school

Today research achievements are rewarded higher than teaching. Only 12 % of university staff recognise teaching as important in promotion to professorship, according to Dr Ruth Graham. At the CDIO meeting in Gothenburg pedagogic and professional competence development and promotion at technical universities was discussed.
