The protracted crisis situations around the world as well as the current war in the Ukraine demonstrate the need for impactful, lasting and future-oriented support for the concerned societies and people in need. As the crucial importance of support for the higher education sector, its students and scholars, has largely been overlooked when providing help in response to crises, this event seeks to explore new possibilities for European support to higher education in emergencies (HEiE).
The Brussels office of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) invites to the hybrid event that will:
- engage in a dialogue between representatives from the European Union, its member states, and representatives from concerned regions about the future support for HEiE – together with implementing organisations;
- discuss recommendations from EU-funded projects and further activities to identify more synergies for future HEiE actions;
- explore the possibilities under existing EU instruments, mainly Global Europe;
- elaborate on a possible, more strategic and concerted European approach for HEiE.
Registration before 25 March is necessary for physical and virtual participation.
