The Second Elkana Symposium is a forum for faculty and others engaged in teaching and learning at CEU, in Austria, and across global networks to share innovative and successful practices and to develop their own teaching through workshops and training sessions, keynote talks, and panels with peers. This year’s theme, Impactful Teaching in Turbulent Times, calls attention to the ways in which technological transformations, political debates, conflict, and stubborn socioeconomic inequalities present challenges to communities of learners and to educators who seek to facilitate classrooms and curricula that are engaged with the important issues of our time.

Paul Ashwin, Professor of Higher Education at Lancaster University
Nikos Basbas, Center for Teaching and Educational Innovation, Tilburg University
