IDEAS toolkit published

Earlier this year, the IDEAS project working on 'Effective Approaches to Enhancing the Social Dimension of Higher Education' has been finalised. The results are presented in the final publication, which, when used together with the online toolkit, gives a great insight into existing practices ensuring access to higher education. The publication includes as well detailed analyses of the current situation regarding access, as well as a policy paper for future improvements.

The first Professional Higher Education (PHE) Excellence Forum of the PROCSEE project was held from 28 September to 1 October 2016, in Logarska Dolina, Slovenia. The forum brought together about 40 experts from 12 countries around Europe to discuss challenges facing the PHE sector in Central and South-Eastern Europe, including Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Czech Republic and Romania. In the coming weeks, a 'Policy Challenge Statement' will highlight the main challenges facing Professional Higher Education in the region.
