There are many similarities between the countries regarding the pros and cons of the digitalization:

• Basic tools are needed to set up inspiring and involving online teaching, more technical support I needed in the future.
• Blended learning will probably be part of many university programs in the future
• With digitalization, it is now easier to have lecturers from faraway countries as no travel is needed. This will allow a broader internationalization of interaction between students and international experts.
•  Students´ skills development - challenge to adapt to online format it is necessary to pay attention to these aspects as we move on with digitalization in teaching. On-site teaching might be still relevant for this type of teaching.
• Concern for student´s health and wellbeing concerning the past year's digitalization. The social aspects of face-to-face meetings seem to be important for the feeling of inclusion and a sense of belonging. This aspect should be carefully considered when planning the courses.
