Throughout the three-day event, student representatives engaged in workshops on mobility and communication strategies. Together, they brainstormed ideas, addressed ongoing challenges, and developed new approaches to increase student engagement within the EPICUR community.
One key focus was the mobility registration process. Participants explored the student experience, identified hurdles, and collaborated on practical solutions to improve accessibility. They also worked on refining outreach efforts to better target students and promote mobility opportunities. A special highlight was a focus group session led by one of the EPICUR Student Representatives, dedicated to the role of Student Ambassadors. The group discussed how Student Ambassadors can serve as a bridge between EPICUR and students, offering valuable peer support to encourage participation in mobility programmes.
