ENOHE International Relations Committee Holds Constituting Meeting

The European Network of Ombuds in Higher Education's International Relations Committee has held its very first meeting in mid-April 2024. Established by the ENOHE Board in fall 2023, the IRC is part of the association’s new governance structures. The IRC and other new committees will support ENOHE's efforts to promote the idea and concept of the Ombuds service through a variety of activities.

Committee members joined the meeting electronically from across 16 time zones, from as far as Southern Australia via Europe to as far as Central Mexico. The committee chair, ENOHE’s former president and now presidential advisor Josef Leidenfrost, expressed his gratitude that the members of this committee from ten different countries have joined this group and will contribute to the development of ENOHE’s international goals with their very personal experiences in transcontinental networking.

During the first meeting, the IRC discussed and approved a mission statement for the committee, investigated potential international topics for the first ENOHE Yearbook of 2024 to be published in late spring and input for coming ENOHE webinars, investigated procedures for successfully applying to externally funded projects and searching for future conference sites and topics. It also agreed to help prepare internationally related focal points for the ENOHE 2024 Annual Conference in Covilhã, Portugal in mid-June.

The ENOHE IRC will be supporting the ENOHE Presidency and Board in their tasks to fulfil the aims of the association as laid out in the statutes, the annual work plans and in the coming Strategic Plan 2026-2030. IRC will hold its next and then first in-person meeting during the Covilha conference.
