Refining Challenge-Based Learning in the ECIU University. Educating for Impact through Reflexivity with a Collaborative, Multi-Stakeholder approach in Innovative Teaching

In this session, two students (one from Hamburg University of Technology and one from University of Aveiro) present their research on factors that foster or hinder the integration of lifelong learners (LLL) within ECIU Challenges 2026. Drawing on interviews and questionnaire data, they will share insights into key dimensions of LLL integration and propose adaptations to the CBL Compass framework developed by van den Beemt. Framed by the Wheel of Innovation perspective, the session highlights the need to design and continuously improve educational ecosystems that actively involve all stakeholders (students, staff, and educators) in shaping a future-oriented university.
