As previous research focuses primarily on procurement\, more insight is needed on the latter stages CPP. Real-life examples of CPP implementation are also required to promote the concept to practitioners\, improve governance\, and add depth to the literature. \nThe study “Implementation and management of a circular public procurement contract for furniture” (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsus.2023.1136725/full)\, therefore\, provides in-depth knowledge of CPP implementation and management by analyzing a case of circular furniture flows and its implications for the procuring organization. \nThe essay Interior architecture in the circular economy: Quality and sustainability aspects of interior design in public environments https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-183697  investigates composite design qualities in interior design and how these can be made more sustainable in the circular economy. Greater demands are placed on a reuse of products. Climate change requires us to slow down our consumption. Working life is moving towards a more flexible physical environment where people must constantly make choices. \nProgram\nThe Webinar will be hosted by Sofia Lingegård (Researcher KTH)\, Kristina von Oelreich\, Sustainability Manager/Researcher and Marika Strömberg (Interior architect) KTH\, Royal Institute of Technology. \n\nWelcome and introduction\, Kristina von Oelreich\nKey note speaker\, Sofia Lingegård\, Implementation and management of a circular public procurement contract for furniture.\nKey note speaker\, Marika Strömberg- Circular property management – how to extend the lifespan of public spaces.\nCoffee break 10 min\nBreak out rooms foe sharing experience and knowledge\nReporting back in Plenum\, Kristina von Oelreich\n\nDates: \nWednesday 1 November 14:00-16:00 ECT \nLocation \nJoin Zoom Meeting https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/67348074538 URL:https://nuas.org/event/webinar-implementation-and-management-of-a-circular-public-procurement-contract-for-furniture/ LOCATION:Zoom\, https://aboakademi.zoom.us/j/67555578443 CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nuas.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/webinar.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20231115T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20231115T120000 DTSTAMP:20260404T201043 CREATED:20231018T094743Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231018T094759Z UID:2853-1700046000-1700049600@nuas.org SUMMARY:Webinar - Unlocking Potential: Generative AI as a Game-Changer in University Libraries DESCRIPTION:NUAS Library group presents\nUnlocking Potential: Generative AI as a Game-Changer in University Libraries\nDive into the future of university libraries\, where generative AI not only transforms library interactions but also amplifies research and academic experiences.

The initiative has been very well received by higher education institutions\, not least in the Nordic countries. \nIn this webinar\, we will explore institutional experiences in the Nordics to gain an overview of the reasons for being part of – or not being part of – the EUI. Since the EUI call 2024 has been flagged as perhaps the last one for new alliances\, what possible scenarios do we see for the next few years\, and what will they mean for HEIs who are not yet part of an alliance?What does the EUI mean for internationalisation in general\, and how do Nordic universities respond to the opportunities and challenges presented by the initiative? To put it differently\, if EUI is the answer\, what was the question? \nIn some\, typically larger universities\, the European Universities Initiative is only a part of their internationalisation efforts\, in smaller ones\, being involved in a European University Alliance seems to be their ‘whole’ scope of internationalisation. Does this lead to a concentration of our partnerships and efforts towards Europe and European University Alliances and what happens to other options? Does the EUI create inequality and diminish internationalisation opportunities for universities outside the initiative?How strategic is the EUI? Is it a long-term plan or a “quick fix” to some questions?What will be the impact of this kind of internationalisation in Europe and beyond? \nLearning goals:\n• Participants will understand Nordic EUI involvement• Participants will explore different views and insights on the topic with other Nordic university colleagues \nTarget group:\n• Staff involved or planning to be involved in EUI\, International relations managers and practitioners at NUAS member institutions \n \n \n \n \n \n Introduction to the theme and overview of Nordic involvement by Magnus Hallbåter\, Analyst at the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) \nPanellist:\nKatrine Molan Hansen\, Assistant Director\, European Educational Initiatives\, University of Bergen\, CharmEUShirley Pollak\, Chief Consultant in International Education\, Roskilde University\, European Reform University Alliance\, ERUARúnar Gunnarsson\, Director of International Office\, University of AkureyriAnna Lindahl\, Head of International Relations Office\, Mid Sweden University\, ChallengeEU \nModerator:\nLiisa Järvinen\, Project Manager\, Educational Affairs\, University of Turku\, European Campus of City-Universities EC2U \nWelcoming words by NUAS Internationalisation Group leader Irinja Paakkanen\, Head of International Affairs\, University of Turku and reflections on Discussions by group members Guðlaug Matthildur Jakobsdottir\, Director of International Office\, Reykjavik University and Birgitta Schiørring Madsen\, Senior Consultant\, Aalborg Universitet \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n Click here for regestration: \nhttps://utu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CTvIkf6WTRi7KA3kpJ31Ng \n  URL:https://nuas.org/event/nuas-internationalisation-dialogue-european-university-alliances-a-strategic-view/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nuas.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/NUAS-Turku-billede.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250508T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250508T140000 DTSTAMP:20260404T201043 CREATED:20250403T090614Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250507T094014Z UID:3435-1746709200-1746712800@nuas.org SUMMARY:Webinar - Introduction to Finland’s Digivision 2030 Programme DESCRIPTION:AboutProgram and MaterialsRegistrationPractical information\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n In the Digivision 2030 programme\, all Finnish higher education institutions are building a future of learning together.

The possibilities and challenges of actually doing that are discussed during this session. \n10:10 Keynote: Nils Lindh\, Environmental Coordinator\, Borås University\, Sweden“If universities don´t stand up to follow climate researchers’ recommendations – then who will?”How the university of Borås did to break the trend of increased emissions from carbon dioxid. \n11:10 Case study no 1\, Jesse Schrage\, NORCE\, Research Institute\, NorwayParis-compliant targets to governance tools: What can universities learn from cities insights from urban climate governance \n11:35 Case study no 2\, GreenSenze\, Origo/KPMG Iceland“Measuring carbon footprint of purchases by invoices – the example of Reykjavik University” \n12:00 Lunch \n13:00 Keynote: Daniel Pargman\, KTH\, Sweden“Academic mobility now and in the future – Who gets to fly?” \nAcademic flying constitutes a large part of the carbon emissions at a research intensive university and we need to reduce our flying if we are to live up to the Paris Agreement and reach our climate targets. But how? The research project “Decreased CO2-emissions in flight-intensive organisations” had access to all data about everything at KTH; who flies when\, where and why. We used this information as input to workshops at different departments to raise awareness and work with these issues\, e.g. how can universities reduce ”unnecessary” flying and reach their climate targets and what does this mean for me as a researcher? \n14:00 Coffee \nTheme 2Cost awareness – an emerging demandThe universities are under pressure to justify their costs and therefore it is important with transparency and insight – but this comes with the risk of increased bureaucracy. How we handle this demand will be explored during this session. \n14:30 Keynote: Shirin Ahlbäck Öberg\, Professor at Dept of Government\, Uppsala University; Sweden“Increased control and increased bureaucratization” \n15:30 Case study no 1\, OsloMet – Controller Siren Linnestad\, OsloMet\, Norway“Cost allocation in education; how to meet the university’s need for economic insigh” \n15:50 Short break \n16:00 Case study no 2\, Lasse Bjerg\, Aarhus University\,“Covering project related indirect costs with external funding” \nSix of the big private funds in Denmark have agreed to partly cover indirect costs related to the research projects that they fund at Danish universities. The six funds account for more than a quarter of the total external funding for Aarhus University\, and their impact on the university economy has increased in recent years. With the agreement\, it has become significantly more sustainable to increase the dependance on private funding. The talk will cover the process for getting to the final agreement\, as well as the analyses that went into estimating the indirect costs. \n16:45 Closing of day 1 \n17:00 Guided tour of Helsinki University \n19:00 Conference dinner \n— \nFriday\, May 23rd\nTheme 3Demands for digital tools and transformationIn this session we are looking into how to utilize digital tools in our daily work. We also learn more about AI-literacy and why it is essential to understand how AI works. \n08:30 Keynote: Laura Ruotsalainen\, Where is AI heading and what should we know about it?Laura Ruotsalainen is a professor in Computer Science at the University of Helsinki\, she is a member of the steering group of the Finnish Center for AI (FCAI) and leads a FCAI Highlight area called AI for Sustainability. She is also vice chair of the newly founded Ellis Institute Finland.Laura will give us a researcher point of view of where we are and where we are heading with AI and what are the things that everyone should know about AI at the moment. \n09:25 “AI in Finance and Accounting”\, Menno Gijzen\, PwCMenno Gijzen is a Senior Manager Data & Technology at PwC\, and he supports finance functions going through digital transformations.Menno will present the outcomes of a survey conducted last autumn with large Finnish companies “AI in Finance and Accounting”. The outcomes of this survey show where finance functions are in their journey of adopting AI\, which finance processes have the most potential\, and what use-cases are on the roadmap. Furthermore\, we look at how investments are made\, and what considerations the companies have with AI implementation. \n10:05 Coffee \n10:25 Case study: University of Helsinki – intelligent automation\, Elina Rajuvaara\, expert RPA & AIThe University of Helsinki (UH) has been utilizing Robotic Process Automation (RPA) since 2018 to automate repetitive tasks. Today\, an in-house Intelligent Automation Team is responsible for automating processes across finance\, human resources\, student services\, the university library\, and other administrative departments. Currently\, the team utilizes both in-house robots and those from external service providers. They are developing AI-driven chatbots to enhance support services and actively train university personnel in using low-code automation tools. \n11:10 Keynote: Linda Mannila\, Associate professor in societal aspects of AI at the Department of Computer Science\, University of Helsinki \nAI literacy as a citizen competence – why does everyone need to know the basics in AI?Linda Mannila’s research focuses on how we can better understand\, teach\, and shape the role of technology in society. Linda is actively involved in projects that explore AI literacy and the societal and cultural implications of AI\, and leads NordicEdAI\, a cross-Nordic network addressing questions related to AI in education and society. She works across sectors to increase understanding of complex technologies and promote critical AI literacy as a fundamental skill for democratic participation and informed decision-making. \n12:00 Closing of the conference \n12:15 Lunch-to-go \n \n \n \n \n \n Welcome to NUAS Economy Conference 2025 in Helsinki\, Finland.
