A round table consultation event in Brussels in the format of breakfast will be held in 2019, as the project comes to an end.  

The event will bring together representatives from the higher education sector, as well as representatives from student associations, civil society and the public and private sectors, offering the opportunity to hear about the achievements of the project and resources developed within, as well as take part in policy-relevant debates relating to the development of student-led real-world learning approaches and social responsibility within the European Higher Education Area.

During the roundtable, participants will be offered:

• First-hand accounts of student experience of the project including from the participation in a social responsibility audit of a university in another country
• Employer perspectives on the value of the Certificate in terms of graduate recruitment
• Academic and support staff perspectives on participation in the project
• An overview of the Open Education Resources developed to support the Certificate in Social Responsibility Auditing, that we aimed to see rolled out across the EHEA
• Discussion of the prospects for this roll-out and strategies to achieve this

Those who attend will benefit from wider awareness and understanding of the project, its relevance and the potential of the OER produced at institutional, national, European and wider levels.

A comprehensive report from the conference will be produced and shared amongst conference attendees and other key stakeholders. It will also be available on the publications page of this website.
