On the 14th and 15th of May, the ENHANCE Steering Committee and VP Research met in historic Valencia and enjoyed the hospitality of UP Valencia. This was the first time that Ena Voûte was introduced to the Steering Committee as Chair. Quote Ena Voûte: ‘It is an honour to chair the ENHANCE Steering Committee in the future. We need this collaboration in Europe more than ever, and what better way to do it than with trusted friends. With our joint creativity, engineering skills and drive for progress, I am confident that we will make great strides.’ The second phase of ENHANCE, which we are now in, focuses on sharing education, courses, best practice and student and staff exchanges, building on the strengths and opportunities of all universities. We discussed educational pathways and agreed on different formats in which we can all contribute to give our students international experiences. In addition to education, we looked at ways of working more closely together in research. Especially for early career researchers. If you are thinking of applying for an MSCA next November, please contact Core Officer Marieke Wolthuis, m.s.wolthuis@tudelft.nl. We are happy to help you find consortium partners within the ENHANCE alliance.
