For 2011, EURASHE has received financial support from the European Commission through Jean Monnet Programme – Key Activity 3 - European associations active at European level in the field of education and training.
This involves external representation at events organised by E&T stakeholders, with the aim of:
- representing the position of professional Higher Education at each event;
- keeping informed of latest policy developments in these areas to pass on to EURASHE members;
- networking with HE stakeholders with the aim of building coalitions around topics of common interest;
- sharing and learning from best practice, and in turn sharing that with members.
