Back in 2024, the DACEM project kicked off with a simple, pressing question: how do academic course catalogues across Europe really work once you try to use them in practice?
Since then, through mapping activities, stakeholder consultations, and ongoing collaboration with higher education institutions, a significant body of research and data has been collected. Step by step, it has revealed a landscape that is rich but fragmented, with different formats, uneven levels of digitisation, and barriers that still affect student mobility.
At the heart of this work has been a shared ambition: to better understand how course catalogues can better support mobility by making information more accessible, complete, up to date, consistent, and interoperable. Not just as listings of courses, but as tools that genuinely support decision-making for students and institutions alike.
As a result, a platform has been developed and tested, translating these principles into practice and offering a more structured, user-oriented approach to course discovery and mobility support.
Now, after three years of work, the project is reaching its closing milestone.
The final event will take place in two moments, designed to open the conversation as widely as possible and then bring it into deeper, in-person exchange. On 11 June, an online webinar will set the stage by presenting key results and recommendations. On 17 June, the discussion will continue in Brussels, where the project will formally conclude with a full-day in-person conference.
The Brussels event will be structured around a series of panels and sessions that reflect both the human and technical dimensions of this work, encouraging reflection and discussion.
Higher education institutions, policy makers, and all stakeholders involved in student mobility are warmly invited to take part in this final exchange.
