In June 2016 we welcomed 18 students from China, Colombia, Denmark, India, and USA at Roskilde University to take part in the three day student workshop. During the days they prepared their proposals on what innovative and critical approaches to higher education could look like. It was three days of intense work, experiencing the efforts and advantages of interdisciplinary engagement, across cultural and academic traditions. We are very proud and inspired by the results that were presented as the final keynote of the conference.
