The objectives of FEDORA
  • To exchange information and experiences at the European level among those concerned with the guidance and counselling of students in higher education during their transition from secondary to higher education, and on into the labour market.
  • To provide a network and disseminate information on any aspect of student guidance and counselling. This includes training and qualifications measures, student mobility programmes and enhancing student/graduate employability, special needs provision and equal opportunities issues.
  • To improve the quality and effectiveness of guidance and counselling in higher education within each of the European countries through joint actions, professional training and research programmes.
  • To collaborate with other bodies, notably the Commission of the European Union, so as to convey the views of professionals in the field of academic guidance and counselling. Equally, professionals are provided with the means to consult these experts on specific activities or specific matters relating to academic guidance and counselling.
  • To provide a network in support of European Union programmes and make these known to universities and institutions of higher education as well as to current and prospective students.
  • To promote and carry out studies and research on various aspects of academic guidance and counselling, to publish and disseminate the results and to organise seminars, conferences and congresses on these subjects.
  • To collaborate with national and international organisations involved in guidance and counselling in secondary and higher education as well as companies (including those in non-EU member states) recruiting graduates.
