Higher Education Takes Centre Stage at next COST Seminar
The COST December seminar focuses on higher education and the European Research Area, with a guest speaker from the European University Association - Research and Innovation
To reaffirm the important role of higher education and research in the future of European competitiveness, John Smith, EUA Deputy Secretary General, will give an overview of the Association’s current project activities. He will also reveal how the organisation contributes to the policy debate on building the European Research Area. The seminar takes place on Wednesday 16 December 2009.
The European University Association (EUA) represents and supports higher education institutions in 46 countries, providing them with a unique forum to cooperate and keep abreast of the latest trends in higher education and research policies. EUA plays an essential role in shaping tomorrow’s European higher education and research landscape thanks to its unique knowledge of the sector and the diversity of its members.
The Association’s mandate in the Bologna process, contribution to EU research policy-making and relations with intergovernmental organisations, European institutions and international associations, ensure its capacity to debate issues which are crucial for universities in relation to higher education, research and innovation.
COST seminars take place on a monthly basis at the COST office in Brussels. To find out more about this event and future editions, consult the events calendar online.
