CROSS-FIELD – CROSS-FertilizatIon between formal and informal Learning through Digital technologies (www.cross-field.ch) is a doctoral program funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation aimed at the education of highly qualified researchers in the social sciences.
It addresses the issue of informal learning, and how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can help to promote it, as well as to better integrate and orchestrate it with formal learning in different learning contexts.
To this purpose, CROSS-FIELD federates three Swiss universities: EPFL – École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Pierre Dillenbourg), and UniSG – Universität St.Gallen (Dieter Euler), USI – Università della Svizzera italiana (Lorenzo Cantoni).
The PhD Workshop “Perspective on the future of learning” is organized by CROSS-FIELD doctoral program for PhD candidates internationally. It aims to attract outstanding junior researchers working on the issue of how ICT can support an enhance learning in formal and informal contexts. All accepted participants will be able to present their research: globally renowned scholars will contribute to the discussion, providing PhD candidates with invaluable insights, perspectives and recent developments on the topic.
