Projects
EURASHE develops innovative and hands-on projects in response to the challenges facing European higher education. Our approach is multi-disciplinary, politically independent and combines (applied) research and policy development with concrete initiatives. EURASHE also contributes to projects through consultative, advisory and stakeholder boards.
Ongoing
Following EURASHE’s commitment to Professional Higher Education, we would like to showcase the projects we are currently working on. The projects are divided into the main four EURASHE policy areas.

Driving European competitiveness with applied research in VET for SMEs AIRinVET aims to enhance the innovation and competitiveness of the European economy. Our focus is on the critical role of vocational education and training (VET) in research and development (R&D). We will identify VET centers involved in applied research (AR), conduct case studies, and develop tools that will help SMEs engage in applied research.

The ATHENA project aims to support the Higher Education sector in becoming more interconnected, innovative and inclusive. The project is funded by Erasmus + and will run for two and a half years. With this meeting, we marked the beginning of a multi-disciplinary effort to create solutions that will provide significant societal benefits.

The Meridies Consortium translates a strong commitment of the HEIs involved with the development of the territory, contributing not only to meet the educational and training needs, but also to retain and attract qualified human resources.

BWSE FOR2030 (Bologna with Stakeholders Eyes for an Innovative, Inclusive and Interconnected EHEA by 2030) is the new Erasmus+ project led by ESU from September 2022 until August 2024.
