PPMI has successfully wrapped up another round of coordinating the European Expert Network on Economics of Education (EENEE) under the Erasmus+ Programme. For three consecutive years, PPMI has ensured smooth collaboration between leading academic experts and the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport, and Culture (DG EAC), delivering valuable insights on the economics of education. In 2023, under PPMI’s coordination, EENEE produced several key reports on topics such as teacher shortages, digital transformation in blended learning (BL) environments, and non-formal education for sustainability. These contributions, alongside policy briefs and research trend analyses, have played a crucial role in supporting the European Commission's ongoing policy efforts in education and training.

Together with colleagues from PPMI, ICF, and the European Commission, we organised the SHARE 2.0 Annual Conference! Last Wednesday, we gathered 100+ European sport sector stakeholders in Brussels to discuss their policy priorities in the areas of innovation, health, and sustainability. Mantas Pupinis and I facilitated discussions on the topics of digitalisation and scale-ups, the key points of which were summarised by topic experts Grzegorz Botwina and Arno Hermans and presented to the Commission's director for sport. The outcomes of these discussions will form the basis of a policy paper, which will in turn inform the new Commission of the sport sector's priorities for the years to come. A big thank you to everyone involved in the organisation and the lively discussions for making this event a success!
