What is the ENHANCE alliance?
Chalmers, together with nine other European technical universities, is part of an EU-funded collaboration. The aim is to strengthen the higher education in Europe by creating a platform for interaction and cooperation in technological development, society, and the environment.
The ENHANCE alliance consists of several projects focusing on future knowledge, innovative organizations, and a shared campus. Student representation within the alliance is organized through a Student Forum, which serves as an advisory body to the Steering Committee, the Board of Directors and the General Assembly. The Student Forum consists of one representative from each member university.
The Student Forum provides feedback on projects within the alliance, but can also initiate its own projects within the collaboration to increase interaction between the universities.
What do the student representatives do?
ENHANCE has a Student Forum that acts as an advisory body to other bodies within the alliance, ensuring that the student perspective is represented. The Student Forum meets digitally approximately once a month to discuss current issues. In addition, it meets in person twice a year: once in a joint physical meeting with all bodies within the alliance, and once exclusively for the Student Forum. These meetings focus on shared projects and long-term strategic initiatives to further develop the alliance. The main areas currently being addressed are a Shared Campus, Future Knowledge, and Innovative Organizations. The student representatives:
- Influence long-term joint initiatives within the alliance
- Discuss shared exchange opportunities between partner universities
- Discuss connections and collaboration between higher education institutions within ENHANCE
- Represent the voice of Chalmers students within the alliance and highlight their perspectives
- Meet other student representatives and faculty from European technical universities, both digitally and in person
