The power of small & medium-sized HEIs in European Alliances – Q-Helix part of the dialogue at EPHEC event in Brussels On 4 December, the Q-Helix Alliance joined the event “Initiating and Strengthening your International Network”, hosted by our partner EPHEC University College in Brussels and co-organised by ARES, DGESVR, Q-Helix and UNIgreen.
As a Q-Helix representative, Nathalie Hancisse (EPHEC) together with colleagues from UP University, UNIgreen and EUNICE European University participated in a panel “European Alliances — perspectives of small and medium-sized HEIs”. Small and medium-sized HEIs play an inportant role in shaping the success and inclusiveness of European Universities Alliances — ensuring that excellence and innovation grow across all parts of the European Higher Education landscape.
👥 Speakers: • Nathalie Hancisse — Q-Helix / EPHEC • Priscilla Lénaerts — UNIgreen / HEPL • Griet Naeyaert — UP University • Sébastien Grondel – EUNICE Alliance / Université Polytechnique des Hauts de France 🎙 Moderator: Piet Van Hove — HEROES Alliance We are truly glad to see alliances in Belgium collaborating closely, exchanging good practices and supporting each other. This cooperation perfectly reflects the spirit and goals of the European Universities Initiative 🤝✨ 👏
A big thank-you to EPHEC for organizing this important panel — and to all alliance partners involved for their strong engagement and valuable contributions. Together, we build a more connected and resilient European Higher Education Area!
