From the JCEP we are delighted to announce the HEST project website is now up and running.

As many of you already know, the Higher Education for Social Transformation (HEST) is a programme promoted by the JCEP (the Jesuit Conference of European Provincials). It is envisioned as a fifteen-year, pan-continental, cross-disciplinary endeavor.

The goal is to produce meaningful and quality research on 7 concrete topics that can be communicated to a range of audiences so as to promote progressive advocacy in each area.

The objectives of the HEST website are:

- To provide information on the general objectives of the programme, the 7 clusters, the people and the institutions participating.

- To inform all interested parties about the activities of the different clusters through the news section.

- To serve as a meeting point for researchers, who have at their service an intranet where they can share documents related to the research in each area. At the same time, the calendar of activities of the 7 networks is always accessible.

We encourage all interested parties to enter the website and to participate: we will be happy to receive questions, advices, complaints,..., everything will be very well received!
