The Board of Learners
The Board of Learners (BoL) is the central representative body for students, doctoral students, and alumni of ENGAGE.EU. It advises the decision-making committees on teaching issues, in particular. Currently, the board has 14 members, two of each partner university.
The University of Mannheim is represented by Sandro Mochan and Sydney Greiner. They are happy to answer your questions.
