As the UK government moves towards formally exiting the European Union, the challenges posed for higher education continue to be well documented.  As a proud member of the League of European Research Universities and with extensive student exchange and wider collaborations across the continent, the University of Edinburgh has, and always will be, strongly committed to Europe.

Representatives from the University of Edinburgh will consider the implications of Brexit for Higher Education within the UK and in the rest of Europe and how, in a rapidly changing political environment, we can respond to current challenges and remain fundamentally European and international in our outlook. 

The talks will be followed by a drinks reception providing you with the opportunity to meet senior representatives from the University and to network with fellow alumni.
