    EUROSTUDENT Talks × WAHED 2026

    From Data to Action – Making Higher Education More Accessible

    Organiser: Eurostudent

    As part of November’s World Access to Higher Education Day acti­vi­ties, a special episode of EUROSTUDENT Talks takes place on November 19, focusing on how data can help make higher education more acce­s­si­ble and equitable.

    Cordelia Menz and Sylvia Mandl from the Institute for Advanced Studies Vienna (IHS), Helga Posset from Austria’s Federal Ministry of Women, Science and Research, and David Reilly from Ireland’s Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science will come together to explore how EUROSTUDENT data can help identify ine­qua­li­ties in access to higher education, highlight barriers faced by students, and inform effective policymaking. 

    Bringing together European-level evidence and national policy expe­ri­en­ces from Austria and Ireland, the dis­cus­sion will also look at how data can be trans­la­ted into concrete action to promote more equitable access to higher education.

    Registration is necessary.

    Learning Across Continents: Conversations in a divided world

    Topics:

    • How do we understand the role of VET in preparing young people for work when labour markets and workplaces are in flux nationally and internationally?
    • Is this changing the nature of VET and VET curricula? Is it raising new questions on work, labour markets and education? What is core to VET that is stable across different contexts?
    • Are systems looking more similar or more different from each other?
    • What are the main factors—such as workplace organisation, changing labour markets, changing enrolment in schools and universities, and the nature of economies that are influencing different aspects of VET provision—such as curriculum, governance, partnerships, enrollment patterns—in different countries?
    • How do we connect better as researchers, and use VET research to build connection?

    Embracing Diversity in Vocational Education and Training (VET)

    Umeå University

    Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the Nordic countries is shaped by strong welfare traditions, close relationships between education and working life, and longstanding ambitions of equality, inclusion and high‑quality education for all. Nevertheless, Nordic VET systems display substantial variation and complexity, influenced by social, demographic, pedagogical and structural differences across countries, regions, institutions and vocational fields. The 2027 NORDYRK conference Embracing Diversity in VET invites researchers, practitioners and policymakers to explore how such diversity shapes the conditions, opportunities and challenges of VET.   The Call for abstracts opens on November 11, 2026 and closes on January 31, 2027. Registration is required.
