ABOUT e-DESK
e-DESK is a project co-funded by the European Union and implemented by a consortium of five international partners led by the CISE. It is a training project for university teachers in the European Union on digital skills and entrepreneurship, in response to the needs that the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted in terms of hybrid education and digital and entrepreneurial response at university level.
Its objective is to strengthen the digital and entrepreneurial skills of teachers by designing a hybrid teaching methodology that also understands the use that students make of technology, in order to bring education closer to the whole group of students, in accordance with current demands.
The training itinerary
The staff training is a three-day training event for the staff of eDESK partner organizations that will take place from July 4 to 6 on the campus of NOVA University Lisbon.
Participation in the event is completely free of charge and includes travel, accommodation, and living expenses, with the condition of active participation in the whole training.
The staff training is part of e-DESK’s training itinerary for university educators. This blended training itinerary combines a MOOC and the face-to-face training you will be enjoying in Lisbon. Please, review as many modules as possible before joining us in Lisbon, it will ease the collaboration in Lisbon. The e-DESK team recommends completing at least the first six modules.

Universidade Nova de Lisboa
NOVA University Lisbon was founded in 1973 and has currently more than 19500 students, 1591 teachers and researchers, and 679 non-faculty staff. Proud of its youth as one of the most recent public universities within the Lisbon metropolitan area, NOVA spans through three municipalities, shortly, in four.
NOVA integrates 41 research units, 37 of which are funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia – FCT (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology), including 3 associated laboratories (in partnership with other Portuguese research institutions).
The excellent quality of research in many areas is also a cornerstone in the international culture of NOVA. Besides intense exchanges in the European space, NOVA also develops cooperation ties with Brazil and Portuguese-speaking countries, Latin-American countries as well as other regions of the world.
The university is also actively involved in cooperation actions promoted by the Portuguese Government, in particular with North-American universities, such as the University of Texas at Austin (UTA), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), namely in master’s courses and doctoral and research programmes.
The singularity of the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa project lies in its respect for the individuality of each Academic Unit, each having acquired its image and prestige within the freedom, diversity and tolerance that have been the guidelines of NOVA. One further aim of the project is the strengthening of the cohesion between units in order to take the best possible advantage of the synergies that can thus be generated and developed.
This clear option for a unique but diversified identity, working not only as a
network of institutions but also of projects, people and resources, characterizes NOVA as a university that is open to the world and willing to take part in the challenges presented by the 21st century.

The city of Lisbon
Lisbon is the capital city of Portugal and lies on the north bank of the Tagus estuary where it broadens to enter the Atlantic Ocean. Lisbon is Portugal’s largest city and its cultural, administrative, commercial and industrial hub. The name comes from “Olissipo”, which has its origins in the Phoenician words “Allis Ubbo”, meaning “enchanting port”. Built on seven hills overlooking the Tagus river, Lisbon is a historic capital where 800 years of cultural influences mingle with modern trends and life styles creating spectacular contrasts.
The international press highlights Lisbon as a dynamic and cosmopolitan city, with a warm climate all year round, where visitors can enjoy the colourful streets, the yellow trams that run along the cobblestone floors and explore historic monuments and museums.
Lisbon also has a vibrant night life and a rich musical culture, of which we highlight Fado, urban popular song of Portugal that was recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2011.
