The Erasmus Salons are a series of 9 public debates on different topics related to the future of Higher Education in the EU. The initiative, led by the European University Foundation (EUF), will create forums for open and inclusive discussions, making the process of reaching consensus easier. All stakeholders and the broader public are invited to discuss the future of European Higher Education.

Topic:

Students are at the centre of higher education, and therefore must be heard on the topic of its future. But what does the broad student population of Europe want from a future European programme on education? As the main beneficiaries of the Erasmus+ Programme, students have relevant opinions on some of the biggest issues within the current programme. During the first Erasmus Salon, we will hear about what an ideal Erasmus+ programme would look like from the students’ perspective.

This salon will feature two of the major student organisations in Europe, the Erasmus Student Network and the European Students Union. The host for the night is the  Muntpunt Grand Café, an institution in Brussels public debate realm.
