The fourth Critical Edge Alliance Conference was held at Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia June 25-28th, 2018. Gathering around 60 participants from seven countries and ten universities, the conference explored the theme of "Innovations in higher learning and strategies for innovative learning" both in terms of micro- and macro policy innovations and curriculum, and student particiption and research experience. 

​

Proposals spanned across many disciplines and subjects, ranging from Emotional impact on learning experience after the death of a patient in a simulation scenario at Universidad de los Andes to The RUC cleaners project: an innovative approach to student-led research projects. Students and faculty worked together both on several of the proposals as well as in the following plenary discussions. 

​

Preceding the conference was a CEA collaboration workshop, in which partners and participants worked together on fine-tuning the tentative Critical Edge Alliance short-term programs. 

​

The conference also resulted in a number of cross-border collaborations, including a global working group on digital learning experiences as well as the second printed edition of the global student magazine Critical Edges. 

​

In addition to this, the conference saw the addition of the university Paris 8 to the Critical Edge Alliance.
