Future Leadership Forum 2023 - First Edition
On the 19th of October 2023 delegates from all of the nine partner universities of SEA-EU Alliance came together to attend the First Edition of the Future Leadership Forum hosted in Naples by Parthenope University.
The event took place in the beautiful frame of Villa Doria D’Angri, which provided a perfect location to fruitfully discuss and share knowledge.
On this occasion, panels and discussions focused on the following pivotal issues:
- What are the major challenges our society will be facing?
- What skills are the most important for a better future to be built?
- What role the European University of the Seas plays to achieve a Healthy ocean and Sustainable World?
Given these points, the event was clearly not only a formal milestone for the SEA-EU Alliance, but it represented a valuable chance to harness the power of sharing experiences, practices, resources and expertise paving the way for a better and sustainable future powered by European Education and Research.
