#European Higher Education Sector Observatory (EHESO)

The European Higher Education Sector Observatory (EHESO) launched its 2026 tracking mechanism this week. Simultaneously, Portugal prepares to host the European Learning Forum in Lisbon to address the "Union of Skills" and AI-integrated teaching.

Educational institutions in Belgium and Germany are prioritizing "Green and Digital" vocational initiatives. With a May 2026 deadline for new funding calls, the focus has shifted toward equipping the workforce in France and Denmark with transversal skills like entrepreneurship and problem-solving to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving knowledge economy.
