Brussels, Belgium

Face-to-face

We are pleased to announce the 2025 edition of the EURASHE Summer Cocktail, which this year will be preceded by an optional Symposium. The event will take place in one of our newest members, Odisee University of Applied Sciences in central Brussels.

Following an introductory provocation by EURASHE President Hannes Raffaseder, a panel will discuss the role of applied universities and place-based policies for European competitiveness and cohesion.

Participants are welcome for both the Symposium and Cocktail, or either. Hoping for sunshine this year, we are looking forward to welcoming you at Odisee!
