Programme - Education Congress 2024
During this year's Educational Congress 2-3 October we delve into the theme of "Exploring the Human Dimensions of Education." Through this lens, we aim to embrace the intricate interplay between humanity and education within the healthcare domain.
Theme for the congress
Our conference unfolds across three subthemes, each offering insights into the nature of education.
- Human dimensions: How do we capture the essence of human dimensions and values in education? recognizing both students and educators as complete entities with multifaceted needs.
- Relationship between technology and humanity: We investigate the dynamic relationship between technology and humanity in education and healthcare, seeking to identify the core values essential for maintaining human-centered approaches amidst technological advancements.
- Methodologies and approaches: We ponder upon the methodologies and approaches crucial for investigating and researching the development of education, unraveling the pathways toward educational innovation and growth. Join us in this exploration as we navigate the tapestry of human dimensions within the realm of medical education.
The programme for Educational Congress is mainly held in English.

Speakers, workshops and details for the programme will be updated in August.
