Event on Higher Education in Emergencies

At the end of the mandate of the EU Regional Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian Crisis, the HOPES-LEB consortium (DAAD, Campus France and Nuffic), the German-Jordanian University and its partners, as well as SPARK were organising an event to reflect on experiences and discuss future support for higher education in the region (and in emergency situations in general).

The event focused on the impact of funded projects on the lives of beneficiaries, the experiences, fears and aspirations of students, and capacity building of governments and other local partners. Stakeholders also shared their recommendations for the way forward.

As new activities under the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) are to be pursued, it is time to take stock of the experience gained over the past years and make recommendations for future action.

The event took place online on Tuesday 30 November from 10:00 to 12:30 online.
