How do #universities ensure that their voice is heard in #Brussels? Toine Paulissen, Steven Van Hecke and I examined how they are represented at the #EU level, distinguishing between individual forms of #representation, such as a liaison office in Brussels, collective forms, like membership of EU associations and networks, and mixed approaches that combine individual and collective forms of representation. In our article, which was recently published in the last issue of the European Journal of Higher Education, we also highlight the importance of #visibility in Brussels, the objective to build and leverage #networks, and the value of #information collection and exchange. #lobby #publicaffairs #education KU Leuven Public Governance Institute Leiden University - Institute of Public Administration https://lnkd.in/eNzQ6wFB

The Uni Accord final report highlights the long term chronic underfunding of our Higher Ed system - particularly our research effort. As The Group of Eight Chair and University of Sydney chief Mark Scott writes in The Australian Financial Review: ‘The objectives of the accord – to fund teaching more appropriately to reflect different student need; to move towards fully funding research; to build more diverse institutions to focus specifically on teaching and research specialisations – all are worthy ambitions. But there is little detail or insight into how this will be done, let alone how to fund it. More work must be done to sort out the new teaching funding model, address the chronic research underfunding, and work out how to lead the sector with a new commission.’ Julie Hare Jason Clare MP Sarah Henderson Professor Emma Johnston AO FAA FTSE

One hundred twenty-five current students and alumni representing every decade since the 1970s attended the SAOC Spring Symposium, the group’s yearly capstone event, last April. The symposium’s theme was “A United Front: Organizing Across Divides,” with discussion topics covering equal access to education in a post-affirmative action world, harnessing collective power in movements, and maintaining integrity as power and prestige increase. Conversations also highlighted the ongoing conflict in Gaza, with guidance on organizing strategically and in solidarity with others. https://lnkd.in/eXefRRxg

Pleased to see my book describing the parallel societies of international students, now out in paperback. This book was a passion project written during COVID, and explains how international student parallel societies were critical in providing comfort to students during a time of crisis. The book also acknowledges that parallel societies do disconnect students in some ways from the host nation, but also explains what pushes international students into communities of people based on similar experiences and needs. #internationalstudents #internationaleducation #Australia #parallel #societies #covid #crisis #connections #disconnections https://lnkd.in/grsNT5ZK

In the final days of the Belgian Presidency, we received an overview of their work in "Investing in Evidence-informed Education." 📚 Through the Committee of the Regions (CoR) opinion on Strengthening STE(A)M education in the EU, our institution was represented at the February conference. It is a pleasure to see that the perspectives we advocate for were reflected in the report, namely: 1. 📈 Promoting the European Education Area through international technological standards and EU recommendations. 2. 🏆 Emphasizing educational competitiveness. 3. 🔗 Creating connected innovation networks with educational and research institutions to attract talent and companies. 4. 🌍 Reducing educational inequalities between urban and rural areas with clear financial resources and a coordinated roadmap. 5. 🎓 Investing in teaching careers to maintain educational standards and competitiveness. These priorities also align with the goals of the Committee of the Regions (CoR). I am glad that we could reinforce the Belgian Presidency's goal on fostering 'Evidence-informed Policy-making and Practice in Education,' which remains a key priority in the European Education Area as well. #Education #STEAM #EuropeanEducationArea #PolicyMaking #Innovation #Equality #TeachingCareers #CoR
