Neth-ER, VH, UNL and Nuffic cordially invite you to join the forthcoming event “The Present and the Future of European University Alliances” on Friday the 9th of June from 11.00 – 15.00 in Brussels. 


Invitation for event “The Present and the Future of European University Alliances”

The Present and the Future

The creation of European University alliances is a new program component within this Erasmus+ program cycle, designed to strengthen the European dimension of higher education and transnational cooperation. Currently there are 44 alliances all with their own strengths, approaches, challenges and successes.

 

In this event we want to bring these strengths, approaches, challenges and successes together. During the morning session of the event we will focus on the present. What successes can we share and where can we strengthen each other? After this, a lunch will be served and there is time to network. During the afternoon session we will focus on the future. What common vision for the future do we want to underline and what is needed?

 

Audience

This event is jointly organised by Neth-ER, The Netherlands Association of Universities of Applied Sciences (VH), Universities of The Netherlands office (UNL) and the Dutch organisation for internationalisation in education (Nuffic). The event is aimed at Dutch and European knowledge institutions active or interested in the European University alliances.
