The European Network of Ombuds in Higher Education held its 20th annual conference on June 12-16, 2023, hosted by Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. The association welcomed nearly 100 participants from more than 20 countries, marking the largest attendance in recent history. After two days of training, the conference offered 20 working sessions over three days covering essential topics on Ombuds work, including: relationships with university administrators and student representatives; reporting; professionalization; evaluation; interaction with the broader community; and practical issues. Three keynotes gave insights on current issues in academia.
ENOHE leaders also took care of administrative business during the conference. Organizing documents were adjusted to comply with Austrian laws, allow for the designation of deputies and advisers, and to ensure continuity of business process. New board members were elected: Guadalupe Barrena (Mexico); Brent Epperson (Luxembourg); Gizem Güray (Turkey); Anna-Katharina Rothwangl (Austria); Thomas Rypka (Austria); and Ryan Smith (USA). Jean Grier (Scotland) was elected the ENOHE President and Ursula Meiser (Germany) was elected Vice-President; both will start their terms on September 1. (Charles University Forum.)
