On 5th and 6th of October, the ENLIGHT Research & Innovation Support group met in Bordeaux under a beautiful sun.

Greener pharmacy is advocated in an article published in Science by a group of researchers, including the researcher Gorka Orive of the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country. They argue that although conflicts of interest may be unavoidable, it is possible to limit the negative consequences of pharmaceuticals while allowing society to benefit from them.
In the article published in the prestigious scientific journal Science, a group of international researchers, including Gorka Orive, Doctor of Pharmacy and researcher in the UPV/EHU’s NanoBioCel group, and Unax Lertxundi of the Bioaraba Institute for Health Research, have issued a warning about the increase in pharmaceutical contamination. “Despite mounting evidence of its potentially widespread effects, pharmaceutical contamination has not received the attention it deserves,” say the researchers. “Although there are signs that this could be changing, there is still a long way to go.”
ENLIGHT promotes innovative teaching and learning approaches, one of them being the Challenge-Based Education (CBE) methodology and this is a call for participants in the 3rd edition of the CBE training sessions for educators.
ENLIGHT’s educational taskforce has recently launched a series of articles on the theme Challenge-based Education (CBE) for the website’s “For Educators” section. The articles provide readers an opportunity for self-paced learning via text, video, and interactive elements.
This event, held online from 12:00 to 14:00 CET on Oct. 25th, is brought to you by the ENLIGHT team working on the PROMOTION OF EARLY CAREER DEVELOPMENT & IMPROVE RESEARCHER ASSESSMENT section of the ENLIGHT-RISE project.

In the contemporary world several problems of inequalities are constantly growing and have surpassed the state borders – our mutual aim should be to find solutions to them in the united debate and discussion of scholars and students.
As reducing inequalities is one of the key focuses of the ENLIGHT network, all community members are welcome to join the international conference “Open and closed societies: historical reasons and modern consequences of inequality in Japan and Europe” on 13 and 14 October (Jakobi 5, Tartu). The conference is held by University of Tartu Asia Centre. Scholars from Japan, Estonia and other European countries discuss different topics about the inequalities in the Japanese and European societies in the context of the educational system and labour market. It is possible to join the conference virtually.
Both conference days have presentations, PhD students’ panels and workshops for the students.
