Set against the backdrop of advancing excellence in teaching, this event aimed to further deepen the ties between teaching communities in Scotland and Germany, shared pioneering practices, and explored the multifaceted aspects of entrepreneurship education and digitality.

Business acumen and digital skills played a crucial role in preparing students for their future roles in a changing and exceedingly digital economy. Building on the recent launch of the Scottish International Education Strategy, we explored a broad range of subjects, each integral to the advancement of university teaching and demanding innovative approaches.

Sessions addressed issues around the use of AI in teaching and the digital literacy and competencies students and teachers required to make effective use of generative models and learning analytics in a higher-education setting. Additionally, we looked at strategies for overcoming the challenges of digital poverty experienced by students from less favourable backgrounds.

This configuration of topics not only aimed to address the multifaceted challenges of entrepreneurial and digital training in Germany and Scotland but also inspired the adoption of ground-breaking teaching methods across disciplines.
