First in-person meeting of FOREU4ALL External Advisory Board in Brussels

On April 29 we had the pleasure of hosting the very first in-person meeting of the FOREU4ALL External Advisory Board (EAB) at our Brussels office, with the European Students'​ Union (ESU); the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA); the European University Association (EUA); the European Association for the Applied Sciences in Higher Education (EURASHE), and the Erasmus Student Network (ESN).

This key milestone brought together EAB members, project coordinators, and representatives from the higher education sector to reflect on the next steps for FOREU4ALL after its official launch in December.

This rich exchange has allowed us to explore further the EAB's future collaboration, including its engagement with the topical groups, support in communication and dissemination, and the policy dialogue via the Policy Learning Lab.

We were also delighted to welcome 13 university sector representatives for an insightful discussion on experiences and challenges in inter-alliance dialogue, the added value of working with FOREU4ALL, and ideas for strengthening advocacy and policy dialogue in a complementary way.

We were pleased to be joined by Policy Dialogue coordinators Kevin Guillaume and Sophia Karner and Forum Board representative Maria-Valerie Schegk and would like to thank all participants for their thoughtful contributions. This gathering reaffirmed our shared commitment to building stronger bridges between alliances and amplifying the voice of European higher education.
