2016 EAN Alumni Honours Awards

We know our Access graduates go on to do amazing things. Whether it be success in industry, public sector, charity, the arts or entrepreneurship, many sections of society are a better place because of the contributions made by Access graduates across Europe.

The European Access Network would like to formally recognise these significant achievements by presenting a number of Alumni Honours at the 25th EAN conference dinner.

Using the form below you can nominate an outstanding Access graduate to receive an European Access Network Alumni Award at the 25th Anniversary EAN conference in Dublin.

You may nominate any graduate of a European post secondary level institution who was considered an Access student by the definition of your country. Nominees may have graduated 10, 20, 30 (or even longer!) years ago.
