This July took place the Kircher Network General Assembly of Presidents and Deans. The event gathered more than 30 representatives of the 28 member institutions from the Kircher Network in Namur.

During the event, it was presented the report on the network's development and the challenges that it is facing. Secondly, three main strategic priorities were identified for the future activity of the network: teaching, internationalization and sharing resources, and the importance of strengthening the identity and mission of the network.

It was a space of analysis of the Jesuit context of higher education where the importance of critical thinking was highlighted as well as the need for innovation in a secular world and safeguarding for our students;  a space of discussion fostered by the previous analysis and the presentation of the annual report of the network aiming at drafting the strategic priorities for the following years; and a space for decisions, the new members of the board were ratified by the Assembly, making now the Council a 5-member structure where Gonzalo Villagrán, Dr. Annick Castiaux and Jacek Poznański SJ are joining the President, Philip Geister SJ and the Executive Secretary, Dr. Susana Di Trolio.
