    Other activities

    One of the core activities of EUCEN is to develop policy statements. In September 2001 EUCEN coordinated a response to the Staff Working Paper on lifelong learning which was later developed by the European Commission into a Memorandum on Lifelong Learning. In 2003 the association contributed to the Trends Report on progress in the Bologna Process. In Bergen in 2005, EUCEN organised its conference around the production of recommendations for the Bologna group on LLL. This particular activity has been repeated in 2007 in Ljubljana and recently in 2009 in Leuven with a new set of recommendations which were passed onto the Ministries before their meeting in Leuven in May.

    More recently eucen has contributed to the modernisation of the HE policy agenda in 2016, the position paper on HE-VET collaboration in 2017 and the position paper on micro-credentials on 2021. EUCEN's policy is to invite members to comment and contribute to the position papers that are drafted by the Steering Committee and the Executive Director of the association. This guarantees that different perspectives are taken into account and that EUCEN contributions have a transnational approach.

    Through such actions, EUCEN tries to reach its lobbying and representation at the EU level objectives.
