This workshop marks the arrival of a new leadership team at EURASHE and our President will present the association’s strategic objectives, while our partners will provide feedback and suggestions for future collaboration. One such objective is to support policy makers in their efforts to rebuild Europe while facing the opportunities and challenges arising from the digital and green transitions. 

A panel of policy makers and experts will help to show how professional higher education can play its part in recovery and resilience, supporting the next generation of young people in a changing world.
