On January 20th, the European University Alliance ACE²-EU Societal Partnerships and Cultural Engagement Centre – SPACE Centre, a new physical space created to foster collaboration and connection between universities and society, was officially opened
The event began with a beautiful performance by the first-year students of the Contemporary Dance Programme at the Latvian Academy of Culture. The esteemed guests from the Ministry of Culture, the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania to Latvia, the Embassy of the Kingdom of Spain in Riga, “ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA” at the Commercial Department of the Austrian Embassy in Riga and the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Riga congratulated and celebrated this important moment with us.
In her speech, Professor Swetlana Buko, co-leader of the SPACE Centre from the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences, beautifully captured the essence of the Centre when she emphasised: “The idea of the SPACE Centre is to create space for everyone. All our activities are designed with students at the core, providing them with the tools and opportunities to prepare for the future and drive positive social change”.
At the heart of our mission, the SPACE Centre stands as a place where partnerships build future literacy, inspiring collaboration and societal change across our alliance.
We thank all our partner universities for joining us in this celebration and for being part of the journey to build the future of strong European universities together!
