Representatives of our Alliance at the International Conference in Łódź

On November 26–27, 2025, Łódź hosted the international conference Joint and Double Programmes in Europe, dedicated to the future of higher education in Europe. The event brought together representatives from universities, educational institutions, ministries, and organisations from 17 countries.

Discussions focused on joint and double degree programmes, student mobility, quality of education, and the concept of the European Joint Degree Diploma, which aims to support diploma recognition and strengthen cooperation between universities.

The conference provided a platform for exchanging experiences among European universities in designing and implementing innovative international study programmes based on cross-sector collaboration, flexible learning pathways, micro-credentials, and qualification recognition. Special attention was given to joint and double degree programmes, which are becoming key pillars of the European transformation of higher education.

A special highlight of the event was the formal awards gala attended by Mirosław Marczewski, Director General of the Foundation for the Development of the Education System (FRSE), Andrzej Szeptycki, Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, and Łukasz Gołota, Deputy Director of the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA), during which Edyta Lachowicz-Santos from University of Economics in Katowice (one of our partner's university) received the Individual Award for supporting and representing Polish universities in European bodies, as well as for continuously inspiring and motivating the academic community to further develop international collaboration.
