Partner Meeting Ljubljana 2024
Following the first capacity building training session, partners gathered to discuss the next steps for the trainings in Belgrade and Zadar. The first steps in prototyping the Community of Practice were also underway.
Launching the IDEA-net Guideline Toolkit on setting up an IDEA Office. (June 2024)
The webinar collected feedback on 9 proposed steps for IDEA focused practioners and staff in higher education to advance inclusion and access in their institution. We asked:
- Is the foundational concept of an IDEA office universally understood?
- Are the objectives of the guideline clear?
- Which part of the guidelines could you currently use?
- What’s missing?
Launching the IDEA-net Compendium of IDEA Practices in Higher Education (April 2024)
In this webinar, we asked our case providing speakers to reflect on:
- Which specific IDEA activity carried out by your university would you like to scale up, and how would you engage either community, institutional or policy actors locally or abroad?
- What, in your respective regions, is driving IDEA practices in your university to change?
- Where do university policies for IDEA need to go from here, especially in the face of a polarised society?

Partner Meeting Belgrade 2023
This was the first in-person gathering of the partnership. The focus was on finalising the questionnaire for collecting case studies in the compendium. Feedback was integrated to be able to capture how IDEA has been motivated to change over time within institutions.
