EVENT
RUN-EU 2022 Students Week and General Assembly
17 October 2022
The Häme University of Applied Sciences (Finland) will host the second RUN-EU Students Week and the General Assembly (GA) between 7 and 11 November 2022.
The event will enable RUN-EU student representatives to take part in the Students Week, and participate in the four following Short Advanced Programme (SAP) on ‘Aspects of Wellbeing’:
The SAP Challenges themes will provide students with a multidisciplinary learning environment with tools to innovate the routine of the business environment by strengthening the importance of people within the economy and how their wellbeing status is influencing the future of society.
The GA is a strategic governing body that acts as a senate for the alliance and meets once a year, during Students Week. It brings together Presidents, Rectors, CEOs, associated partners, students and the RUN-EU Management Committee. They will evaluate and decide on high-level policy issues by discussing ways to improve cooperation between the seven higher education institution members and associated partners to achieve the goals of RUN-EU, and towards the development of the associated regions.
