In the context of the Conference on the Future of Europe, representatives from 38 European university alliances are addressing some of the complex challenges that the EU faces today through the publication of policy recommendations to be shared with European decision-makers.

Ahmad Hammoudeh, a representative of UMONS and EUNICE Alliance, is taking part in a conference that will be held by the EUC in Strasbourg on March 3-4, 2022. The representatives will discuss their position on 10 thematic challenges after a series of keynote speeches.

The onboarding session of the EUC initiative took place on 13/1/2022 with 271 participants from 28 European countries. The preparations for the conference included several meetings in February that aimed at designing solutions to issues related to the main topics defined by the European Commission for the Conference on the Future of Europe.

“A statement like the earth revolves around the sun deserved punishment in the past, let’s hope not to see that again,” Ahmad said after highlighting the growing violations and threats to the freedom of speech. Ahmad is an artificial intelligence researcher at ISIA Lab, MAIA Lab, and TRAIL Institute. Before joining ISIA Lab, he had been trained in the European Parliament in Brussels to assess science & technology policies.

Some of the policy proposals brought up in Feb 2022 during the preparations for the European Student Assembly are available on this webpage.
