Nine months into the FOREU4ALL Community of Practice

As summer shines on, it's the perfect moment to reflect on the initiative's dimensions during its first nine months, and celebrate the remarkable progress made in such a short time. 

The main highlights include:

•  20 topical groups in place, bringing together 2000 experts.  These numbers largely exceed the initial expectations of the initiative, since 10-20 topical groups gathering 600 experts were suggested at its proposal stage.
• All 65 European University alliances engaged, as well as the coordinators of 8 Seal of Excellence alliances, which accounts for a total of 73. At the proposal stage, 60 alliances were expected.
• A new, enhanced version of the website is live, as well as social media channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube). On LinkedIn, we’ve already reached almost 3,000 followers! 
• FOREU4ALL Chair, Dr. Beatrix Busse, has taken the stage across Europe (Brussels, Wrocław, Berlin), and participated in 20+ high-level meetings and events at both national and European levels.
• And finally, we’ve established an inclusive governance structure, including diverse representation from all alliances, a Forum Board elected democratically on an annual basis, and an external advisory board placing key organisations and students at the heart of the community.

This is only the beginning, and we’re just getting started!
