Since its launch in 2019, the Digital Education Hackathon, one of the initiatives led by the European Institute of Technology (EIT) within the framework of the European Commission's Digital Education Action Plan 2021-2027, has brought together thousands of innovators, educators and learners from across the world to achieve the same objective, that is to make a positive change in digital education.
Throughout the DigiEduHack week, 24-hour hackathons will be organised in Europe and around the world inviting students, teachers, entrepreneurs, digital education enthusiasts and innovators to join efforts in finding solutions to the biggest challenges education faces in the digital age. Everyone is welcome to take part in DigiEduHack 2023 Days, from experienced educators to deeply passionate students with a strong interest in the future of education in the digital age.
Registrations are now open for host organisations and participants. Check out the in-person, online or blended events all over the world.

Translating Europe Forum 2023
This year’s Translating Europe Forum – the 10th edition – will look into what it takes to achieve excellence in translation. Ranging from skills and training to quality management, and from technologies to promoting the language professions, discussions will put translators in the spotlight and show why they are the key to quality.
We will also look back at how the profession has developed over the last 10 years – and what the Forum's role has been on this journey. Naturally, the agenda will also include a glimpse into the future.
When: 8-10 November
Where: Online or Brussels

These will help stimulate Europe's enterprises and equip them with the right tools for the transition towards sustainability and digitalisation.
