EUPRIO Highlights
Sad to learn of the passing of Ray Footman on 15 April. As many have noted, this marks an end of an era moment. “Ray was one of the far-sighted and energetic group of senior advancement professionals who founded EUPRIO in 1986,” commented Edoardo Teodoro Brioschi, Honorary member of EUPRIO, "I was lucky enough to cooperate with him since the beginning of the EUPRIO life. I meet Ray several times and I was always impressed with his extremely rigorous approach to professional problems, commitment to the university communication and his vocation to the education approach. Ray was a great admirer of the Italian culture heritage and language".
Due to the Coronavirus restrictions, the EUPRIO General Assembly 2020 will take place online on December 16th, 2020 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. followed by virtual Season's Greetings. It will be an opportunity to present to the EUPRIO members the activities realised during the last two years and to launch the EUPRIO programme 2021. Registration opening soon on MyEUPRIO.
