The project aims at increasing access to Higher Education for all marginalized and non-traditional groups based on a principle of equity. The best and worst practices will be highlighted in the project, together with the focus on understanding the barriers to entry to Higher Education, and the incorporation of stakeholders to help propose solutions. Based on this research, the project aims to give implementable recommendations as to how to improve accessibility to Higher Education.
The EQUNet Consortium is made up of 8 associations, 4 umbrella organisations bringing together stakeholder groups from across Europe, together with 4 research institutes specialising in research into education & training. Together, they are working towards bringing an evidence-based approach to policy making on equity in higher education in Europe.
