These results are presented in the publication Profile of Professional Higher Education in Europe. 

This 'EU Validation Seminar on Defining Professional Higher Education' will bring together main stakeholders in the field, and gather their input on the proposed definition and characteristics. It will take place on 5 February 2014, starting at 2.00 pm, in the EURASHE offices in Brussels, and followed by a cocktail reception.
