NEWS HIGHLIGHTS Belgisch EU-voorzitterschap 2010 Van 1 juli 2010 tot 31 december 2010 bekleedt België het voorzitterschap van de Raad van de Europese Unie (EU). Ook Vlaanderen zal tijdens dit voorzitterschap een belangrijke rol spelen. Voor Gemeenschaps- en Gewestmateries zijn de deelstaten immers ook internationaal bevoegd. Dit stelt Vlaanderen voor een reeks uitdagingen die goed moeten worden voorbereid. Het Vlaamse voorzitterschap zal, overeenkomstig de bepalingen van het Verdrag van Lissabon, functioneren binnen een teamvoorzitterschap met Spanje (1ste helft 2010) en Hongarije (1ste helft 2011). Ook het Enterprise Europe Network zal een aantal acties ondernemen. Meer hierover in volgende nieuwsbrieven.
Commissie begint raadpleging over "EU 2020", een nieuwe strategie voor een slimmere en groenere sociale markteconomie Op 4 december heeft de Commissie een publieke raadpleging gestart over de EU 2020-strategie, die betere perspectieven voor de EU-economie moet opleveren. De nieuwe strategie bouwt voort op de resultaten van de Lissabonstrategie en op de lering die daaruit is getrokken. Het raadplegingsdocument geeft aan hoe het herstel na de crisis kan worden vastgehouden en een nieuwe crisis kan worden voorkomen. Drie punten staan centraal: kennis als meerwaarde, kansen bieden in een samenleving die niemand uitsluit, en een concurrerende, groenere netwerkeconomie creëren. Reacties kunnen worden gemaild voor

TERUGBLIK EVENEMENTEN
23 november 2009 - Rondetafel over de leermobiliteit van jonge mensen Naar aanleiding van de twintigste verjaardag van het Erasmusprogramma in 2007 werd binnen de Europese Unie een debat opgestart over de voordelen van mobiliteit in het hoger onderwijs en de noodzaak om mobiliteit naar andere gebieden uit te breiden. Het groenboek “De leermobiliteit van jongeren bevorderen” vat de belangrijkste punten van dit debat samen en belicht de domeinen waarin verdere actie vereist is. Op basis van dit groenboek werd een publieke consultatie uitgeschreven met als doel suggesties te verzamelen van alle belanghebbenden over mogelijke actiepunten. Enterprise Europe Vlaanderen en het Vlaams-Europees verbindingsagentschap (VLEVA) organiseerden op 23 november 2009 een rondetafelgesprek over deze publieke bevraging waarbij experten uit de Vlaamse onderwijsen ondernemerswereld hun visie gaven op de uitdagingen van de toekomst.
