As announced on the EDEN portal, last 15th-16th January, I’ve hosted a meeting in Lisbon at the Universidade Aberta (UAb) with Professor Anja Oskamp, the President of the European Association of Distance Teaching Universities. Anja, being the Rector of the Open University of the Netherlands, is also a distinguished EDEN member. This gathering of colleagues and friends included also the Secretary Generals of EDEN, Dr. Andras Szucs, and of EADTU, George Ubachs.
