As a representative of EUHT StPOL, Dr. Eva Canaleta, academic director of the center, also attended the EUHOFA Congress.

Through five presentations given by professionals from the sector, the congress focused on how to reach Generation Z, current hospitality management students and future professionals in this industry. During the four days of the event, the participants worked together to find new tools that would guarantee the highest educational quality for graduates in their university centers.

In fact, in the closing speech of the congress, Lluís Serra emphasized the complexity of reaching generation Z in such a changing world. Therefore, the importance of the discussions that took place during the congress.

EUHOFA is, since 1955, the first international association of hospitality and gastronomy schools and currently has 200 members from the five continents. It is therefore an international benchmark in this sector.
