At the final gala of the “Science in 3 minutes” contest first ever English edition, held on 18th of October at the Estonian Academy of Sciences, the five best foreign PhD students studying at Estonian universities were awarded. EBS is pleased to announce that Mehruba Shabaab Haque was also named a laureate of the competition with her lecture "Redefining Beauty for Young Girls in the Age of Social Media."

How can you stay ahead in your personal development and career in the face of constantly changing circumstances and new challenges? The answer lies in lifelong learning and continuous self-improvement. One way to continually acquire new skills and knowledge is to participate in open-level courses, which offer flexible learning opportunities and are suitable for different lifestyles and career choices. But what exactly does Open University mean, and what benefits does it offer? What should you consider when participating in open courses?

The year was 1988; the ideological directions were set, but one man, Madis Habakuk, envisioned a different future... For 35 years, EBS has been striving towards this alternative future every day. This remains crucial today, as we face changing expectations from people and society towards education. Education is and will always be the foundation upon which individuals can build a strong career and life.

Knowing that the future arrives faster than expected and that a university must be able to glimpse into the future while staying in the present has been natural at EBS throughout its entire operational history. The vision of EBS for the year 2028 highlights keywords such as lifelong learning, internationalisation, collaboration, and the synergy of science and entrepreneurship – to name just a few.
