Toruń, located on the River Vistula, has two distinct faces. The former is that of one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Poland. Anyone who finds themselves in the city center facing the majestic, Gothic building of the Town Hall, which overlooks the Old Town Square, will confirm the special beauty of the city founded 780 years ago.
Join us for an unforgettable experience!
In cooperation with the Fulbright Association, Nicolaus Copernicus University and Boise State invite you to join us for a historic event - the first ever Summer Institute on Emerging Technologies for Teaching and Learning. Join us at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poland to exchange ideas and thoughts, promote sustained cooperation and intercommunication, share academic experiences, and benefit from exposure to different cultures. We are looking for participation from a broad range of talents, including people from Europe and the U.S., to broaden the knowledge base on teaching and learning with technology, and establish important connections for future collaborations.
The institute is open to anyone interested in emerging technologies for teaching and learning in a global context. Through this institute we hope to gather together great minds in search of sustainable global partnerships that leverage the power of technology in educational settings. Teachers, administrators, directors, higher education faculty, graduate students are all welcome.
