The ‘Joint and Double Programmes in Europe’ conference brought together representatives from 17 countries, along with participants from the European Commission, embassies, universities and accreditation bodies, to discuss the future of transnational education in Europe.
During the conference, the Polish Foundation for the Development of the Education System (FRSE), organiser of the event, presented ten awards recognising the most inspiring and innovative educational initiatives developed through international cooperation. Niall Power collected the award on behalf of ECIU for the development of the Engage platform, described by the organisers as “ECIU University’s pathway to inclusive and modern learning in flexible formats.”
As part of the conference programme, ECIU Director Niall Power also participated as a panellist in the session “Micro-credentials – Macro-challenges – The role of joint educational initiatives”, contributing to discussions on how collaborative educational models can respond to current and future challenges in European higher education.
The 'Co-Create to Educate: International Collaboration Award' received by ECIU underlines the importance of international partnerships in shaping the European Education Area and confirms ECIU’s strong position as a leader in innovative, mission-driven cooperation across borders.
