Innovative Horizons: DIVE Project Concludes Insightful Study Tour in Belgium

From March 9–13, 2026, Vietnamese partners of the DIVE project gathered in Belgium for a comprehensive study tour focused on the future of digital education and institutional innovation. Hosted by EFMD and ULB, the week-long programme offered a deep dive into how technology is reshaping higher education. The journey began at the Solvay Brussels School (ULB), where participants explored the "State of the Art" of the DIVE project and engaged in intensive workshops on Artificial Intelligence in Teaching and Learning. These sessions covered everything from the mechanics of Large Language Models to institutional strategies for adopting AI responsibly.

Throughout the week, the delegation balanced academic rigour with site visits, including:

• Policy and Governance: Meetings with the EACEA and a visit to the Parliamentarium to understand the European legislative context.

• Technological Innovation: A visit to FARI (AI for the Common Good) and the Learning and Innovation Centre at ULB.

• Regional Excellence: A trip to Hogeschool VIVES in Kortrijk to witness digital education in practice and exchange ideas with the Flemish Inter-University Cooperation Agency (VLIR-UOS).

The tour concluded at ARES in Brussels, where the focus shifted to practical applications. Participants shared insights on international cooperation and explored digital tools like Moodle, H5P, and Dynamo to enhance student monitoring and interactive learning. This study tour marks a significant milestone for the DIVE project, equipping partners with the pathways and tools needed to integrate AI and digital excellence into their own institutions.
