The FOCI project's final online event will take place on 19 April, 13:00 - 15:00 CET. Everyone interested in the concept of European Degree is warmly invited!
On 27 March, the European Commission published a blueprint for a European degree, outlining the next steps towards the implementation of this concept and making the possibility to award and receive a European degree a reality for European higher education institutions and students.
FOCI project, the partnership of YUFE, ECIU and EPICUR Alliances, has been working on piloting and testing this concept for the past year: its implications for the regulatory frameworks, criteria for awarding a European degree, and a future policy framework necessary to sustain it. As the project nears its completion, we invite you to join us for the final webinar on 19 April (13:00 – 15:00 CET), during which the blueprint for a European degree will be elaborated on and the main project outcomes will be presented.
