General Assembly 2017
The general assembly held in Lisbon on the 16th & 17th of March 2017 was designed to serve as a time for exchanging and forming partnerships between member schools. The FEDE team sought to apply their efforts to ensure the establishment of bilateral agreements, pedagogical cooperation and for student and lecturer mobility to develop, particularly through the FEDE mobility programme.
The FEDE general assembly also served as a time for reflecting on the theme of the entrepreneur with the 2017 Great Witness, Dominique Amirault, President of the FEEF.
Lastly, the general assembly revealed the FEDE of the future: a FEDE that is built, one that is built upon the initiatives of its members, that places employment and educational excellence at the heart of its plan, one that ventures out and which is conducive to venturing out, one that believes in businesses, one that federates and brings people together.

“We will work on the FEDE of the future, the one that we want to build together: one built upon the initiatives of its members, one that places employment at the heart of its project, one that ventures out and allows others to do so, one that believes in businesses. We will be working with Dominique Amirault, the 2017 Great Witness on the theme of “The Entrepreneur”, with the aim of transmitting to our youth the energy that drives us and to boost employment.”
