CRES Annual Meeting 2025: New Leadership, Inspiring Workshops, and a Growing Network

We are pleased to share the highlights of the latest CRES Meeting, held in Rome in a hybrid format with participants joining both in person and online. A heartfelt thank-you goes out to all attendees your dedication and constructive engagement made the event richer, more productive, and truly future-focused.

One of the key moments of the meeting was the election of the new CRES Board.

We warmly congratulate:

• President: Guido Van Dijk

• Vice-Presidents: Marianna Gevorski, Katarzyna Mitrut, David Bayona

We are confident that this new leadership team will continue strengthening CRES as a European network rooted in human relationships, professional exchange, and meaningful collaboration.

The meeting also featured two highly interactive workshop sessions, where members worked together on new project proposals, analysed upcoming changes in the Erasmus+ 2026 Programme Guide, and brainstormed emerging challenges and priority areas deserving attention at European level. These sessions reaffirmed the power of collective intelligence and cooperation in shaping innovative and impactful initiatives.

We are also delighted to welcome two new member organisations to the CRES community:

BRANTA DESAROLLO (ES) and LANTERNE DIGITALI (IT).

Your perspectives and expertise enrich our network and broaden our capacity for collaboration.

Thanks once again to all participants for your contribution. As agreed, next year’s meeting will be scheduled well in advance and we look forward to seeing even greater participation as CRES continues to grow and strengthen its impact across Europe.
