Today, we were honoured to host Vanessa Debiais-Sainton, Head of the Higher Education Unit at the European Commission at the Hertie School in #Berlin. In collaboration with representatives from three other prestigious universities and EU alliances in Berlin, we delved into the future of the #EuropeanDegree and the #EuropeanUniversityInitiative. Discussion highlights: 🎓 The #EuropeanDegree is a game-changer for students and doctoral candidates. With a new blueprint from the European Commission, our alliances are actively addressing both internal and external challenges to make it a reality for all our communities. 🌐 Since the inception of the #EuropeanUniversityInitiative, there have been extensive exchanges among universities and with national and local authorities on removing barriers to transnational degree programmes and education. Let’s continue our collective efforts to transform #HigherEducation across Europe for the benefit of all.

The closure of the Australian National Centre for Latin American Studies (ANCLAS) earlier this year is another retrograde decision by the Australian National University (ANU) and ultimately by the Australian government. That it was done quietly is the bastardry that has taken common form in this country. The closure overlooks the small, but important, cultural and historical connections between Australia and Latin America. The ‘New Australia’ colony in Paraguay in the 1890s is part of our history likely unknown by many Australians. And the closure especially ignores our geopolitical and national security interests in that regional grouping. Much of Latin America is the eastern boundaries of the Pacific, which extends geographically southward close to Antarctica. Regrettably, South America is also a growing source of drugs and other forms of organised crime in the Pacific Islands, which extends its reach to Australia and New Zealand. The implications for Australia are obvious and recently discussed in The Strategist. That ANCLAS was Australia’s only remaining centre for Latin American studies is more the reason to have retained it. And that ANCLAS operated on loose change in the ANU’s pocket probably explains why it withered in recent years. In times of strategic uncertainty, when threats and risks surround us, knowledge is an affordable and crucial means to help secure ourselves.

Let’s spark a movement toward education that prioritises well-being, cultivates resilience, and celebrates the unique potential of every student. Together, we can create a culture where adolescents don’t just succeed—they flourish. We invite you to join us for a transformative discussion on: Creating a Comprehensive Support Network for Student Well-Being During the Transition to Higher Education. As one of the panelists, I am thrilled to share my latest research and insights into how positive psychology can be effectively integrated into educational frameworks to empower students to reach their full potential. This is more than just a conversation; it’s a call to action to reshape the way we approach education and student support. #Educationalist #PositivePsychology #UniversityandCareerCounselor #Counseling #Admissions #Studentsuppport

Later but never too late After completing the final course of my MSc in Public Administration with a specialization in International and European governance, I am saying goodbye to Universiteit Leiden & moving on to Brussels. Fittingly to both my past and future work, I got to write my thesis on the (selective) use of expert knowledge in motivating the course of Dutch internationalisation policy for higher education over the last 12 years. I thank my supervisor Johan Christensen for all the support on an incredibly relevant research topic, grounded in the current government reforms to higher education. Noting how experts presented both pros and cons early on, and highlighting the importance of how that expertise was utilized to form today's policies. I graduated a bit later, but never too late. Because everything that I have been able do next to my studies has made the experience invaluable. Much has changed since I started at The HOPweek pre-Covid and graduated to board member in the midst of the pandemic. After which we slowly got back up again, and I started as chair of IncLUsion Leiden. Followed by 2 years in the University Council and a year in the board of LOVUM. I am grateful that I got to see it all and was afforded the time to do so. Something that many current students are unsure about, due to the cuts to higher education. But having the time and resources outside of your studies to add to a community, work a part-time job to pay your tuition, take care of yourself or take care of others, shouldn't become special. Taking that away does not improve the quality of education. It makes it less accessible and less inclusive. In the larger context of this new policy direction lies the question of how it will affect The Netherland's competitive edge and knowledge economy. How can we give our students and researchers the best chance and pool resources to keep innovating? We can only speculate what the consequences in another 12 years will be, but as my thesis has shown me; the consequences will still be there, even if we choose to ignore the warning signs for now. Now, exactly what that university of the future should look like instead, how we should involve students and staff, and how we need to look to Europe for increased scientific cooperation, I will soon further explore at my new job at Una Europa vzw in Brussels. Combining my love for international policymaking and education by working for the alliance of 11 leading European research universities.
