A Platform for Collaboration and Learning
FOREU4ALL serves as a unique community of practice, connecting European Universities Alliances and the broader higher education sector to foster deeper cooperation, facilitate peer learning, and share best practices. Its mission is to strengthen collaboration by enabling alliances to exchange expertise, leverage collective strengths, and disseminate proven methods and outcomes, encouraging broader adoption of good practices across the higher education community.
Highlights from the FOREU4ALL Kick-Off Event
The FOREU4All Kick-Off event took place on 2 December 2024, featuring collaborative discussions and presentations to launch the initiative and outline its vision for fostering innovation and global impact in European Higher Education. The kick-off event set the stage for this ambitious initiative, bringing together over 230 participants, including representatives from the European Commission, the European University Association (EUA), the European Students’ Union (ESU), and other influential organisations.
Vanessa Debiais-Sainton (EAC) highlighted the early achievements of the European Universities Alliances, such as joint programmes, enhanced mobility opportunities, and innovative teaching approaches. These successes demonstrate the transformative potential of initiatives like EUGLOH, which is already making strides in addressing global health challenges. Anna-Lena Claeys-Kulik (EUA) described this moment as historic, emphasising its profound and lasting impact on students, researchers, and society as a whole.
EUGLOH’s Role in the Future of European Higher Education
Looking ahead, FOREU4ALL’s ambitious four-year roadmap promises to enhance collaboration, encourage innovation, and ensure the sustainability of efforts like those championed by EUGLOH. This roadmap, implemented in partnership with leading alliances such as ECIU, Circle U., and Una Europa, provides a structured framework to support transformative change.
