The Medical University of Graz hosted a dissemination event bringing together students, academic staff, and project partners to present the project’s objectives and discuss innovative approaches to developing critical thinking skills in higher education.
During the event, coordinators presented the NANO-THINK project, its mission, expected outcomes and its contribution to strengthening critical thinking competencies through modern, learner-centred educational approaches. A key part of the programme was the presentation of the MindForge NanoLearning Platform, an interactive digital learning environment designed to support active learning, reflection and evidence-based decision-making.
The presentations were followed by an engaging discussion focusing on the importance of critical thinking in contemporary education, the evolving role of educators and the opportunities offered by digital learning technologies to create more effective and student-centred learning experiences. The exchange of ideas and experiences highlighted the importance of integrating innovative teaching methods into higher education to better prepare future professionals for increasingly complex academic and professional environments.
The dissemination event brought together representatives from the University of Donja Gorica (UDG), the Medical University of Graz and the Faculty of Health Studies of the University of Rijeka (FZSRI), providing an excellent opportunity to strengthen collaboration among project partners while promoting the objectives and results of the NANO-THINK project to the wider academic community.
The event reaffirmed the consortium’s shared commitment to advancing educational innovation and fostering critical thinking through collaborative research, knowledge exchange, and the development of digital learning solutions that empower both educators and students.
