Responsible Innovators of Tomorrow

This course is created as cooperative work of experts from all ENHANCE Universities. The aim of the MOOC is to create a new European academic space for the interaction between innovative technological progress, society, and our environment. Technical and social developments are mutually dependent and influence each other, why it is important to promote interdisciplinary learning.

With a focus on science and technology studies, this course is about extending your perspectives to learn about being responsible and making responsible decisions. The MOOC is integrated into a platform-based eLearning environment, filled with video lectures, slides and additional texts. In three phases, anticipation, action and reflection, you will get to know more about sustainability, responsibility, ethics, and related topics and why it is important to learn about them as future innovators of tomorrow.
