Since 2007, the Aalborg Centre for PBL has been running the International Research Symposia (IRSPBL) and Regional Research Symposium (RRSPBL) nearly all over the world. Some of the latest events have been in India, China, Colombia and Malaysia and we have invited the hosts for having a conversation on the impact of these symposia activities. What is happening in the region concerning change to more active learning and PBL? Has PBL become more widely used? Are there barriers in changing engineering and science education? What are the strategies for future institutional or regional activities?



What is the status of sustainable development and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Higher Education and engineering education? How can engineering education accelerate education for the SDGs? What role does student-centred learning, especially PBL, plays in educating for sustainable development? These are example of questions, which will be the point of departure for a conversation around PBL and Sustainability.

Digitalisation, sustainability, complexity, systems, humane interaction – these are some of the challenges popping up when we discuss the future of engineering education. We know that these societal and sustainability challenges require new ways to educate engineers with competences to address complex social problems. We also know that PBL in various implementations has been one of the answers to develop engineering education and, in many countries, it has become a new normal in a part of the curriculum. But where do we go from here? How will be the contemporary requirements influence the direction of engineering education? These questions will be addressed in the conversation four experts:

Workshop: The use of PBL in international collaborative projects on sustainability in Higher Education

We have turned the welcome reception into a virtual networking session. You will have the chance to move around and meet old and new colleagues. There will be “tables” where you can meet the hosts and the possibility to watch pre-recorded welcome speeches. The reception will be hosted in Wonder.

Thank you very much for your participation in the IRSPBL2021 online conference! We appreciate all your contributions and we look forward to seeing you in 2023.

In this session students from Aalborg University will share experiences, ideas and thoughts related to PBL practice. 

In the session “First year Students experiences”, we have invited a student group from Mathematics to present their experiences with PBL in relation to their first year at the University. 

In the session “Students in AAU Megaprojects”, students from different faculties at the University, being involved in one of the current interdisciplinary Megaprojects at Aalborg University, will share experiences, ideas and thoughts related to PBL and interdisciplinarity.
