On world teacher’s day the Federation of Austrian Industries, Business Finland and the Embassy of Finland in Austria team up for a unique webinar on 5 October 2021 at 16:00–18.00 EEST Helsinki.
COVID shined a light on educational systems worldwide and revealed weaknesses mercilessly. At the same time, systemic accelerators like digitalization, self-organized learning and the central role of teachers paved their way into public (and political) awareness like never before.
Unaware of the effective “end” of this global pandemic, the time is now right to shine a light on our collective learnings and offer a kick-off for the forthcoming systemic learning curve:
- How did Austria and Finland manage this unique educational crisis?
- What are the most valuable takeaways from the pandemic, especially in the field of digitalization?
- What are the next steps to take?
Opening remarks by Ms. Pirkko Hämäläinen, Ambassador of Finland in Austria and Mr. Christoph Neumayer, Secretary General of the Federation of Austrian Industries.

Ms. Iris Rauskala, Chief Digital Officer, Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research Austria
