ICEPS strengthens its international profile through participation in European academic and professional networks that support cooperation, visibility, knowledge exchange, and institutional development.
Our membership in AEHT and EURASHE connects the institution with relevant European communities in hospitality, and tourism education and applied higher education, while also creating added value for students, teachers, and the institution as a whole.
These networks open space for international dialogue, joint initiatives, professional exchange, participation in assemblies, conferences, competitions, and other sector-relevant events. As part of these networks, ICEPS aims to expand its European presence, contribute actively to shared activities, and create new opportunities for cooperation, learning, and project development.

AEHT is a European network that brings together schools and institutions active in hospitality and tourism education. It supports cooperation among member institutions, encourages exchange among students and teachers, and promotes excellence, innovation, and European collaboration in hospitality and tourism education.
For ICEPS, membership in AEHT is especially relevant because it supports the international development of our hospitality-related study fields, strengthens links with specialised institutions across Europe, and creates useful opportunities for students, teaching staff, and the institution through networking, competitions, annual conferences, and other professional activities.

- ICEPS representatives attend AEHT General Assemblies and take part in related network activities:

EURASHE is a European association focused on applied and professionally oriented higher education. It represents applied universities and brings together colleges, polytechnics, university colleges, and other institutions with a strong professional higher education mission.
For ICEPS, this network is important because it strengthens our position within the European applied higher education community and opens possibilities for institutional cooperation, policy dialogue, knowledge exchange, international visibility, and participation in events and joint initiatives relevant to professionally oriented higher education.
This is valuable not only for the institution, but also for teachers and students, as it supports stronger European links, exchange of practices, and access to a wider academic and professional community.
