This year’s conference theme is: Learning in the digital era. We really hope you will be able to join us and share your thoughts, experience and insights in teaching and learning lean thinking!
The European Lean Educator Conference is dedicated to fostering knowledge exchange within academia as well as between academic institutions and industry, which we believe is especially important. As such, ELEC2021 provides a platform for professors, teachers, trainers and coaches from academia, industry and public sector organizations to share their knowledge and experiences and learn from one another.
ELEC conferences distinguish lean thinking as a broad management and operations improvement philosophy, fully grounded in science and supported by a continually growing set of methods, techniques and tools. All participants are sure to take home practical lessons-learned from one another.
We look forward to seeing you at #ELEC2021 in October!
