ACE²‑EU ACEploration no.6 in Poland moved from showcasing to shaping collaboration under Brain, Body & Learning and its subthemes. Thematic discussions explored integrated approaches to physical and mental well‑being, the design of interdisciplinary learning experiences that connect medicine, technology, and social sciences, and future‑facing academic models that cultivate new skills and flexible pathways. Partners matched these priorities with practical formats across the Alliance—Applied Blended Challenge Programmes, Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes, COILs, MOOCs, and staff development via ALPS/ALES—so ideas can be piloted quickly and scaled responsibly. By evening, priorities were clearer, leads were emerging, and teams were aligning on how education, research, and innovation will reinforce each other across the Alliance.
