Exploring new worlds of teaching and learning
The countdown is on: The three-day conference starts in a few days "spacing - Learning between spaces". We invite you to explore and discuss the many dimensions of teaching and learning with us on site at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar from September 24-26, 2025. A varied program awaits you, designed by 71 contributors from 25 different, sometimes international universities. If you still want to be part of the mission, you should register now to secure one of the last tickets!
The keynote speech by Armin Grunwald (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) is a special program item of the Learning Space Bauhaus Symposium under the title "Between innovation and reflection: Responsible design of hybrid learning environments". Grunwald addresses the fact that technical progress and critical reflection are not oppositesbut two forces working together to create new learning spaces. Terms like anticipatory Governance, Scenario building or the Principle of reversibility illustrate how universities can manage innovation responsibly - in awareness of their social, ethical and educational responsibility.
The keynote address at the eTeach annual conference by Brian Ballsun-Stanton with "Learning Between Spaces: How Teaching Is Getting Weirder - and Why That's a Good Thing". Based on his research at Macquarie University (Sydney), he makes it clear how Uncertainty and irritation when dealing with AI into productive learning. With its Four-pillar model students are transformed from passive consumers into active creators who reflect, experiment and critically decide when and how AI should be used sensibly. "Weirdness" thus becomes the engine of critical judgment.
More than lectures - interaction and exploration
In addition to keynote speeches, discussion rounds, pitch sessions, poster walks, theme islands and workshops, two very special formats await:
With the interactive Campus quiz "eTeach Space Odyssey: Ground Control to Major Learning" teams and the public compete together to accomplish the mission of "University of the future" successfully. Only those who master the most questions will bring the "spaceship" back to safe ground.
The accompanying exhibition "(will soon) return with new questions, like ..." invites you to marvel and discover. It shows artistic-research positions on the subject of (learning) space, which focus on questions and encourage people to open up new spaces for thought and action through discussions.
Take the opportunity to be inspired, try out new things and think together about the university of tomorrow. Whether teachers, university management or students - we look forward to embarking on a journey with you into unknown worlds of learning.
