Most changes in financing however came with a delay in 2010 when governmental measures affected the access to higher education in nearly every European country.\u201d\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Although the current status of financing of higher education is different across Europe, there seem to be widespread problems with the high costs of studying in Europe. The ESU seminar, jointly organised by its Estonian member union (EUL) and part of the Finst project , will focus on how the financial future of European students should look and how for example private spending on higher education can play a role.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Participants will try to identify global trends which are at the root of the shifting attitude from governments towards public spending on higher education. Vandenkendelaere: \u201c<em>Be it the economic turndown, be it the societal situation or be it the political belief in governments, in most countries, the value of higher education as a national priority for welfare has decreased. Although we would rather turn this tide instantly, we should for now learn how to swim with it and look for possible solutions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Finst project<\/strong><br \/>\nThe seminar is part of the \u201cFinancing the students\u2019 Future\u2019 (Finst) project which aims to increase the knowledge of the effects of financing systems in Europe over students and to work on the capacity building of the national unions of students with regard to their active involvement in higher education funding reforms.
