Before the year comes to a close, the Council of Europe Education Department is delighted to announce the publishing of a brochure, showcasing the Higher Education programme in a comprehensive and accessible format. The brochure comprises a review of activities carried out across 2024 and flags projects and initiatives that are under development for 2025 and beyond. Moreover, an overview is given of relevant Working Groups and networks as well as of partnering organisations.
The Council of Europe Higher Education programme looks back at a year of progress in the areas of academic freedom, artificial intelligence, ethics, transparency and integrity in education, and the recognition of qualifications, including the recognition of refugees’ qualifications. Through QR codes that link to the project webpages, readers can discover further information about the Education Department’s initiatives.
Emphasised is the Education Department’s mission to foster a culture of democracy and human rights. The brochure on the Higher Education programme serves to communicate to the wider public that the Education Department is pursuing work committed to the democratic mission of education and that building bridges between the organisation and civil society is key for achieving this mission.
