Study in Europe – stage 3 kick-started!

Building on two successful cycles of the Study in Europe  project, the consortium formed of ACA and member organisations DAAD (Germany) and Archimedes Foundation (Estonia), together with Campus France (coordinator) and Nuffic (The Netherlands), have embarked this month on the third stage of Study in Europe (2020 – 2023), winning the related call for tenders published earlier this year by the European Commission, with a budget of EUR 3.5 million.

This very experienced consortium of frontrunner higher education promotion agencies will be running the coordinated promotion campaign of Europe as a study destination, on behalf of the Directorate General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC), European Commission. The consortium will be supported by a prominent Stakeholder Panel, other agencies and partners across the globe. The Stakeholder Panel counts ACA members CMEPIUS (Slovenia), EDUFI (Finland), SAIA (Slovakia), and TPF (Hungary, together with British Council (UK), the Swedish Institute, the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) and the Coimbra Group.

The kick-off meeting took place online on 8 December 2020. The project consists of:

the organisation of a series of twelve Study in Europe fairs (both digital and face-to-face),
the management of the Study in Europe information portal,
the creation of communication tools and the animation of an integrated communication campaign (including social networks),

the organisation of nine webinars, as well as networking activities and exchanges of good practices for European promotion agencies, and the animation of an online platform.

Within the project team, ACA is in charge of organising the webinar series for promotion agencies and broader higher education promoters, one networking meeting of promotion agencies, co-moderating the online platform and contributing with relevant content to the portal.
