About the event
In the wake of the adoption of the Commission’s Communication on a blueprint for a European degree, this is your chance to hear from the trailblazing Erasmus+ pilot projects that have spearheaded efforts in the seamless delivery of joint degree programmes and the establishment of a possible European legal status for alliances of higher education institutions. Their work was the basis of the Commission’s work on a blueprint for a European degree, presented on 27 March.
This event is co-organised by all Erasmus+ pilot projects and the European Commission.
It will feature representatives from the pioneering Erasmus+ pilot projects, Member States, the wider higher education sector and European Commission. They will share their insights and experiences in bringing these initiatives to life. The event is an opportunity for national and European policymakers, as well as for rectors, academic and administrative staff of higher education institutions, students and representatives of the wider higher education and business sector to engage in discussions on the necessary steps to make a European degree a reality.
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to be part of the future of higher education.
Join us online on 29 April as of 9:00 AM.
Please register here by Wednesday 22 April 2024.
Your registration will be final only upon receipt of a confirmation email including the online connection details.
