FEDORA Background and Objectives
Founded in 1988, the Association is a response to the continuing and growing needs of European student advisers to be able to support, guide and inform students on issues such as study and work opportunities across Europe and student mobility.
 
Large numbers of students now undertake part of their studies in another European university, benefiting from structured exchange programmes which involve close co-operation between academic institutions.
 
In seeking to widen their knowledge, students are also enlarging their experience of Europe by studying and living in another country. This can enrich their future careers, giving them an international dimension.
 
All this, however has resulted in more students presenting advisers and counsellors with new and more numerous challenges. It is in response to these challenges that university guidance staff have developed a trans-European network for co-operation.
 
FEDORA's aim is to promote and develop this network throughout the member states of the Council of Europe. It is committed to supporting the development of student advisory services in Eastern Europe.
