The core vision of the Euracademy Association is to promote capacity building in rural areas and mobilise animators and managers of rural development by offering them the opportunity to improve their skills, widen their experience, expand their professional qualifications, starting a personal itinerary of lifelong learning and providing ample space for networking and cooperation in the framework of European projects.

The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of South Africa, Pieter Vermeulen has recently visited Széchenyi István University, where he met with the leadership of the university and had a discussion with the South African students studying there. He found the Győr University model convincing, due to the way it was the fruitful symbiosis of industry with the practice-oriented training of students, leading to marketable degrees.
