“The consortium shares a key value – pure academism without links to the surrounding reality is an outdated phenomenon. Thus teaching should have an inalienable component of research, carried out in the style of the classical European tradition of the Academy – through interaction with the students, treated as junior peers rather than passive and ignorant individuals to be molded by the teacher. All of this should create a community, intellectual and innovative community, that will be able to address and tackle the complex realities we live in.“
