ENIHEI has received an invitation for future collaboration in the newly established EU COST ACTION, Rising nationalisms, shifting geopolitics and the future of  European higher education and research openness (OPEN), https://www.au.dk/opencostaction. Aarhus University is Grant Holder Institution for the OPEN COST Action.

Scholars of the Action will explore how the rise of new nationalisms and geopolitical tensions exert a growing pressure on the openness of European higher education and research and examine its implications for the future of Europe. By facilitating knowledge exchange and collaboration, the action will strengthen and showcase European scholarship, and liaise with stakeholders in the domain of higher education and research to generate ideas for addressing and alleviating the growing threats to the University’s openness and global cooperation capabilities. The Action is based on four working groups that bring together inter-disciplinary researchers to explore the shifting dynamics between the University, the nation-state and the European integration project. Please take a look at the official COST website for more information (https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA22121/)

COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.
