This freshly started 2015 looks already promising with the many events planned by ACA. By wishing again a Happy New Year, we take the chance to present our annual programme of seminars and conferences, designed to feature the most relevant topics in internationalisation and higher education. 

We are soon to open the annual series of European Policy Seminars with the traditional theme What’s new in Brussels? Recent developments in European Policies and Programmes that will take place on the 3rd of February, when ACA will also be celebrating the birthday of its Director Bernd Waechter. Then, the arrival of the Spring season will be accompanied by the second European Policy Seminar, focused on Alumni, that will take place on 19 March. Later, the usual ACA annual conference is going to be hosted in Brussels on 14-16 June and will focus on practical aspects of higher education internationalization, from strategy to implementation. We will then be glad to open the Fall season with the third European Policy Seminar on 15th October and we are organizing – in cooperation with our Czech member Dum zahranicní spolupráce (DZS) - a seminar on joint and double degrees, that will most likely take place at end of October/beginning November in Prague.  Finally, we will close the year with the fourth European Policy seminar on 10 December.

We hope that over this year you will have the chance to profit from the wide array of subjects we are offering and you will take part to the knowledge sharing and networking and that usually characterize our events. We will keep you posted on further details, in the meanwhile save the dates and feel free to spread this information around. We hope to welcome you soon to one of our ACA events.
