Aplication procedure
1- Make your voice heard and promoted through direct representation towards policy-makers
EURASHE represents its members and defends their interests towards European and national policy-makers, in the Bologna Follow-Up Group (BFUG), in expert groups and initiatives set up by the European Union institutions, and in cooperation with its partners in the E4-Group.
EURASHE reports, studies, statements and policy papers feed into policy debates on crucial issues relating to professional higher education.
2. Belong to a forward-looking network of professional support and expertise
Be involved in working groups.
EURASHE working groups, defined by members, address topics of interest for the professional higher education sector. The outcomes help members progress further and feed into the formulation of project funding proposals or policy recommendations, thus contributing to the sustainable development of the EHEA. Members are invited to join one or more of the groups.
Participate in and host EURASHE events.
EURASHE events address issues of interest to professional higher education institutions and represent a valuable opportunity for education experts and professionals to network, share their perspectives, best practices and exchange information. Members host events.
Cooperate with members and with stakeholders.
Joining a European network of professional higher education institutions and organisations is a great way to meet potential partners to collaborate with. EURASHE provides members with assistance and support to develop bi-lateral and multi-lateral partnerships and activities to promote transnational cooperation among its members. EURASHE also helps its members cooperate with stakeholders in higher education inside or outside the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
3- Access ad-hoc consultancy services
EURASHE offers expert support to its members on issues related to the adoption and implementation of the Bologna reforms at the institutional level in their specific national context.
4- Participate in interesting and innovative projects
EURASHE develops innovative and hands-on projects in response to the challenges facing European higher education. Our projects involve professional higher education institutions and stakeholders and aim to generate new models for tackling today’s economic and social challenges. Our approach is multi‐disciplinary, politically independent and combines (applied) research and policy development with concrete initiatives.
5- Stay updated with news and information
EURASHE regularly disseminates the latest developments and expertise in professional higher education to its members and stakeholders through publications, studies, the website, social media and the monthly newsletter.
