This edition will aim to explore which opportunities cross-border education offers in border regions.
- 06 October 2022
In spite of the fact that European states have generally strong education systems, it is not always evident for citizens of border regions to have reliable access to quality education or the opportunity to benefit from excellent academic and research institutions located nearby. In some regions, the closest nearby education institution may be across a national border, illustrating the need for a common European framework for cross-border education.
Aside from this, citizens pursuing non-formal and informal education, including, among others, vocational education and training could also benefit from the opportunities offered by a cross-border approach.
We will hear from the following speakers:
- Jean-Pierre Halkin, Head of Unit, Unit D2 – Interreg, Cross-Border Cooperation, Internal Borders, DG REGIO, European Commission
- Tine Delva, Deputy Head of Unit, Unit B1 – Higher Education, DG EAC, European Commission
